Sustainability efforts are more critical than ever—both in terms of the importance to consumers, as well as in terms of how grocers can be getting their employees excited about, and engaging with, sustainability initiatives. 

In this special edition of our SN Off the Shelf podcast—SN TechWire—we sat down with Lauren Kennedy, the VP of Customer Success for Upshop, to talk about how grocers can be using tech-oriented sustainability solutions, including gamification, to get employees excited about executing on day-to-day sustainability efforts. 

On today’s TechWire podcast, you’ll learn:

  • What the consumer who cares about sustainability looks like

  • The biggest factors in food waste within retail

  • How grocers are being affected by an “aging” system of food waste operations

  • How gamification of sustainability efforts can get employees engaged (and move the needle on these efforts)

Take a watch.
