Retailer of the Year

Open to any fashion retailer that operates in the UK and/or Ireland.

This award recognises the fashion retailer, direct-to-consumer brand (without a wholesale presence) or marketplace that has sustainable values at its core.

Judges will be looking for a clear sustainability strategy that incorporates relevant and achievable objectives, and evidence that these objectives have been met in part or in full. Please include as much detail as possible about specific initiatives, innovations or collaborations that enabled the business to deliver the strategy.

Where relevant, retailers should also highlight how they have worked with their suppliers to improve working conditions and/or reduce the amount of waste in the supply chain over the past 12 months. Judges will be looking for evidence of constructive engagement with suppliers, including during the coronavirus pandemic.

Please note that wholesale brands should enter Brand of the Year. We also have the Positive Change Award for more traditional/established retailers that wish to highlight recent efforts to become more sustainable.
