In this episode of IADS Retail Park 🎙️, Maya and Christine, Director of Markets & Events at IADS, explore how sustainability is disrupting and redefining department stores worldwide🌍. Drawing on exclusive insights from the IADS White Paper "Reinventing department stores through sustainability" (Jan 2023), they discuss why sustainability is now a business imperative—costing retailers up to €615 billion by 2030—and how leading stores like El Corte Inglés, Green Pea, and Galeries Lafayette are tackling everything from Scope 3 emissions to radical transparency.

There is no one-size-fits-all solution, but there is real urgency and opportunity for those who are ready to act. This episode offers practical takeaways for retail leaders and anyone passionate about the future of commerce.
