Sustainable and Ethical Practices for Non-Profit Retail
Sponsored by Las Vegas Market
In collaboration with Fair Trade Federation (FTF), Museum Store Association (MSA), Zoo, Aquarium & Garden Buyers Group (ZAG)
Building B, World Forum
Want to use your retail business to express your values in the marketplace? Join trade association leaders from ZAG, MSA and FTF in a discussion that will focus on challenges, best practices, and solutions to incorporate sustainable and ethical practices in non-profit retail operations. While both "ethical" and "sustainable" are terms used often in the marketplace, time will be spent illuminating and broadening their concepts in order to help retailers (nonprofit or for profit) thrive in a challenging marketplace.
Moderator is Chris Solt, executive director of Fair Trade Federation. Panelists include Meg Hauser, secretary of Museum Store Association and Tommy Brown, buyer at St. Louis Zoo, board member of Zoo, Aquarium & Garden Buyers Group.
