Retail
Mission Statement
Retail traders face highly topical issues, not least due to the considerably increasing environmental awareness of consumers. Rapidly growing distribution forms, such as web shops, involve new tasks, with recycling management gaining more and more importance. Sustainable products and distribution concepts are indispensable and combatting greenwashing is becoming increasingly important. Product information, in particular including environmental impacts, are more in demand than ever before. Likewise, the environmentally friendly packaging of goods is playing an ever more important role. Critical consumers demand information about supply chains, and digitalization in retail business, including correct use of customer data, becomes more and more significant. Thanks to our decades of experience in advising large chains, retailers, and operators of shopping centers we are absolutely familiar with all of those challenges and issues, and you will benefit from our consultancy competence, from developing of commercial properties up to product liability cases.
„Strong problem solver, strong market and industry knowledge, excellent customer management, strong communication skills, 100% availability and meets the deadlines.“
