In this episode of The Interview Series from The Retail Exchange podcast, we’re talking Sustainability. More specifically, how retailers can build a sustainability action plan that delivers meaningful action and traction within the business.

Host Karl McKeever is joined by Aleix Gonzalez, Director Global Sustainability at C&A Europe – one of the leading fashion retail businesses in Europe with 1,575 stores in 21 countries, as well as a presence in Brazil, Mexico, and China.

For C&A, sustainability means rethinking how it designs its products for their next life. In his role, Gonzalez is responsible for overseeing the implementation of C&A’s global sustainability strategy.

He explains what sustainability means to him; his experience of building momentum behind sustainability initiatives within multiple global retail businesses; his thoughts on the burning issues affecting fashion retailers’ ability to drive change; and the secrets to success for other retailers who are embarking on the journey to cut waste, improve circularity, and achieve Net Zero goals.
