VIDEO: The fourth annual edition of Travel Retail (TR) Sustainability Week, which is taking place from 2-6 December 2024, features the return of the hugely popular Sustainability Pitch programme.

This year, four participants – Ferrero Travel Market, Suntory Global Spirits, Kellanova GTR and Rémy Cointreau – have submitted their pitches into the programme with a view to being awarded four-star ‘Travel Retail Sustainability Trailblazer’ or five-star ‘Travel Retail Sustainability Hero’ status.

The 2024 pitch submissions cover a broad spectrum of areas: from efforts to protect the environment such as biodiversity preservation, ingredients traceability, decarbonising supply chains and reducing, reusing and recycling packaging materials, to personnel development, promoting DE&I and social responsibility.

Their entries are being scrutinised an expert panel of Sustainability Guardians. This year’s lineup features: Julie Lassaigne, Secretary General, European Travel Retail Confederation (ETRC); Ian Upton, Head of Category Operations, Fulfilment (inc HCC), Services, Sustainability, Heathrow Airport; and Graeme Stewart, CEO, Enviro-Point.

The Sustainability Pitch sessions will available to view throughout TR Sustainability Week. Please click here to view the agenda.
