Policy-makers, companies and consumers see the transition from fossil fuel powered vehicles to electric vehicles as a prominent option to reduce greenhouse gas emissions. The inherent efficiency of electric motors promises significant reductions but what about the emissions from the grid used to charge the batteries? Lars Kvale, VP of Sustainability Solutions at GreenPrint, writes about how significant these emissions are, and what can consumers and businesses do to mitigate them.

We’d like to challenge retailers to think of sustainability not as its own bucket but as part of a problem-solving mindset that will put them in the best position for success, both during and after the pandemic. Sustainable business practices create long-term value and help retailers thrive as consumer behavior shifts rapidly.
