Focus On - Sustainability

The buying group for independent wholesalers Dear Retailer, The ‘Focus On’ guides by Plan for Profit are specifically designed for the independent retailer. Each guide contains expert product and category insight to help you make the most of opportunities in store and meet the needs of your customers. In recent years, sustainability has become a key focus for businesses, with manufacturers across all categories committing to eco-friendly supply chains. Retailers are following suit by enhancing their stores with energy-efficient equipment, reducing plastic usage, and introducing sustainable product lines. In this guide, you’ll find valuable advice and insights designed to inspire you to embrace sustainable practices in your own retail operations. Let’s work together to create a more sustainable future! All copies of the Focus On Guides are available to review on the Plan for Profit website and app. Visit planforprofit.co.uk or search ‘Plan for Profit’ in your preferred app store. Five Ways to Make Your Store and Customers More Sustainable 1. Offer your customers more sustainable products. Keep up to date with supplier pledges around sustainability and ensure you are offering brands that have already taken steps to reduce their carbon emissions. 2. Create a food waste plan. Discount items approaching their sell-by date in advance and develop a strategy for recycling products that can’t be sold. Consider partnering with Too Good to Go, an app that helps you sell food that would otherwise go to waste. Visit www. toogoodtogo.com for more information. 3. Buy loose and local. Produce is more sustainable when sourced locally and sold without plastic. Consider diversifying your fruit and vegetable supply with local options. 4. Host sustainable community events. Activities like charity collection days and litter picks are excellent ways to engage local shoppers while benefiting the environment. Consider planning a calendar of events for next year to win over shoppers’ hearts and minds. 5. Reduce receipt printing. Each year, retailers print over 11 billion receipts, with 90% being lost, damaged, or discarded. Train your staff to ask customers if they really need a receipt before printing one. www.planforprofit.co.uk @PlanforProfitRetail @Plan_for_Profit Page 2 Kind Regards, Mark Langohr Category Controller, Plan for Profit View Focus On guides here: Website & App In Depot Direct to Retailer planforprofit.co.uk Download the app | Visit www.planforprofit.co.uk Visit www.planforprofit.c o.uk | Down load the app Category Guide Grocery, Non Food, Chilled & Frozen 2023 Identify category best sellers and core range Category insight to boost sales Planograms by store size and region Download the app | Visit www.planforprofit.co.uk Visit www.planforprofit.co.uk | Down load the app Category Guide Impulse 2023 Identify category best sellers and core range Category insight to boost sales Planograms by store size and region More ways to Plan for Profit Generate more sales and profit from your selling space Convenience fixture plans built on category insight and best sellers Licensed & Tobacco Category Guide 2024 All available on the website & app Generate more sales and profit from your selling space Convenience fixture plans built on category insight and best sellers All av ilable on the website & app Grocery & Non Food Category Guide 2024/25 Dedicated to the Independent Retailer Impulse Scan to visit our website to download for FREE NE 2024 Category Guide Available NOW! 11 )ROORZ XV on X & )DFHERRN &(/(%5$7,216 Selection 300g '$,5< 0,/. )UXLW 1XW 303 J 7(55<·6 &KRFRODWH 2UDQJH J )(55(52 52&+(5 Pralines 200g '$,5< 0,/. &KRFRODWH 303 J 0$/7(6(56 %R[ 110g &$'%85< 0LON 7UD\ J '$,5< 0,/. &KRSSHG 1XW 303 J &$'%85< Heroes J $)7(5 (,*+7 'DUN 0LQW 300g '$,5< 0,/. &DUDPHO 303 120g /,1'7 /LQGRU 7UXIÁHV 200g 1(67/( 'DLU\ %R[ J &$'%85< &DUDPLON 303 J '$,5< 0,/. 2UHR 303 120g Bestseller +)66 &RPSOLDQW &21)(&7,21(5< *,)76 $1' %/2&.6 &25( 5$1*( 1(: 72 &25( 1(: 72 &25( 16 'RZQORDG the Plan for 3URÀW DSS &$'%85< %RRVW 303 J &$'%85< 'RXEOH 'HFNHU 303 J &$'%85< 6WDUEDU 303 J WISPA %DU 303 J WISPA *ROG 303 J &$'%85< )ODNH 32g &$'%85< 7ZLUO 303 J &$'%85< 7ZLUO 2UDQJH 303 J '$,5< 0,/. &KRFRODWH 303 J '$,5< 0,/. :KROH 1XW J '$,5< 0,/. &DUDPHO 303 J AERO 3HSSHUPLQW 303 J 081&+,(6 &KRFRODWH J &$'%85< &UXQFKLH 303 J .,7 .$7 &KXQN\ 3HDQXW %XWWHU 303 J Bestseller +)66 &RPSOLDQW &21)(&7,21(5< 6,1*/(6 &25( 5$1*( Generate more sales and profit from your selling space Convenience fixture plans built on category insight and best sellers Impulse Category Guide 2024 All available on the website & app
