Responsible Sourcing is a key area within our
sustainability strategy…
NONFOOD
We have a deep and wide assortment of various
products, sourcing approx.
75.000 SKUs
from
2000
suppliers
originating from
86 different countries

FOOD
When sourcing many different type of products from
many different countries, Salling Group faces many
potential risks, both socially and environmentally
- and it is therefore crucial that we have

But we are facing some
challenges
that need
to be
addressed
to succeed
We are on a journey towards a more sustainable Apparel/textile Industry,
and to succeed we see some important steps.
1
Guiding
documents to ease practical implementation of coming regulations to
prioritize correct
Time for implementation as a complex
industry with long lead time
Common
system for data collection
– data on thousands of products must be collected from suppliers
Aware that we
don’t have the data we need to report
and to get that takes time when lots of products
Customer focus
– Take out complexity to ease up knowledge for customers for “right choice” - alignments
Closer to the research
to make sure that the things we do have a significant impact
Recycled material are still more expensive than none recycled/what is the right material?
