For Brands Selling to Walmart, Target, & REI
By Emerger Strategies
At Emerger Strategies, we work with mostly fishing and outdoor brands who are selling their products at big box retailers, and are being asked to comply report with different sustainability assessments, such as THESIS, CDP, REI Product Impact Standards, and others. Our clients tell us that their challenge is that they can’t answer the questions, because they don’t understand the language in the questions being asked, which can be frustrating. That’s where Emerger Strategies comes in. We have been simplifying sustainability for our clients since 2016, and we partner with our clients to help them exceed retailer sustainability expectations.

✅ Meets retailer sustainability requirements
