Key Observations from RILA

As mentioned a few weeks ago, I attended the RILA Conference on Sustainability and Compliance in San Diego. I’ve finally captured observations drawn from keynotes, education sessions and informal discussions with attendees and presenters which you can read or download from our website here.

RILA: Sustainability as a Strategic Imperative

Having just returned from an extended trip to San Diego and then on to Los Angeles for a few meetings, I wanted to quickly share some of the key take aways from my attendance at the RILA Conference on Sustainability and Compliance, held in San Diego last week.

Overall, I agree with Green Retail Decisions that the conference was a success. It was attended by a great group of retail leaders and service providers all focused on the same high level outcome; a sustainable future driven by sustainability as a business imperative.  No longer is sustainable retail an option, but rather critical to survival.

Other key conference themes were supply chain transparency, authenticity and green stores strategies, including Energy Star and the upcoming LEED Volume program opening. 

I’ll be writing more about these discussions in coming days, both here and in the form of another white paper to be made available to Paladino friends and family.
