What: The mid-2021 WRC report

Why it is important: A series of reports by countries allowing to understand the variety of situations for each of them, leading the WRC to launch a series of new initiatives to co-build a “new retail”.

This WRC issue is important as it deals with many different realities from country to country, given the variety of situations with the Covid-19 pandemic.

This is the reason why the WRC announces a “roadmap to rebuild a better retail”, a series of operations, meetings and gatherings that will span over the next 12 months, with a focus on 6 pillars: the planet, the society, the economy, the business, the consumer and the plan for change.

WRC also pays tribute to the late Galen Weston, owner of Selfridges, who sadly passed away last April 2021.
