This report summarizes the sustainability programs and practices of major retailers. It finds that most retailers have full-time sustainability teams that are growing in size and seniority within organizations. These teams primarily focus on orchestrating internal sustainability efforts, developing strategies, and interacting with senior management. The report identifies a class of "top performers" that focus on a wide breadth of sustainability issues across their facilities, products/supply chains, and stakeholder engagement. These top performers see greater business benefits from their sustainability activities compared to other retailers.
The report summarizes the findings of a survey of 42 major retail companies on their sustainability programs and practices. It finds that while 30% of respondents have only one executive dedicated to sustainability, 20% have six or more people on their sustainability teams.

Survey respondents indicated their sustainability programs provide benefits such as innovation, risk mitigation, and brand enhancement. Budgets for sustainability mostly stayed the same in 2015, with 30% increasing, and the typical payback period required for sustainability projects is 2-3 years.
