Calculate your company’s carbon footprint through the NRF/SRC Carbon Calculator for free, provided by Verisae. This tool is used to make basic calculations, such as converting raw emissions data (refrigerant gases, fossil fuel consumption, and electricity use) into a carbon baseline. Retailers will receive, via email, a carbon footprint report measuring their progress against set benchmarks.

NRF's Sustainable Retailing Consortium (SRC) has created this scorecard to help retailers develop their sustainability programs and give them a tool to benchmark their efforts with the industry. This tool is designed to be used for those just beginning to develop sustainability efforts, as well as those with advanced programs. This inaugural edition will be updated annualy and will reflect the ongoing progress of sustainability efforts throughout the retail industry.

Sustainable Retailing Consortium (SRC) Webinar Series

NRF's Sustainable Retailing Consortium (SRC) is hosting a series of conference calls for the general membership of the SRC. These calls are open to members of the SRC and invited guests. The calls are structured to build communication and community between our fall and spring meetings and to give our members another avenue for exchanging information. On each of these calls, we will have guest speakers discussing a hot topic, taking questions and answers for the first half of the call. The second half of the call will be devoted to sharing news about the SRC and sharing information and resources among the membership in an open forum format.

BIGresearch, longtime research partner of NRF, recently talked to consumers about how concerns for the environment and fluctuating gas prices play a role in their shopping habits.
