Be a change agent for the retail industry! Join our team and help create the premier resource for retailers on environmental compliance and sustainability. The Retail Compliance Center (RCC) provides resources and guidance to help US retailers improve environmental performance. The RCC is also developing innovative and technology-driven solutions to improve program management and find solutions for industry challenges. The Retail Compliance Center (RCC) is an initiative of the Retail Industry Leaders Association (RILA). RILA is the US trade association for retailers that have earned leadership status by virtue of their sales volume, innovation or aspiration. We convene decision-makers, advocate for the industry, and promote innovation. Our aim: To envision the future of retail - and equip leading retailers to succeed in it. Environmental compliance and sustainability are important but challenging areas for retail because of the nature of the industry with multiple locations across many jurisdictions, thousands of different products, and long supply chains. The RCC was formed to help America's leading retailers navigate and overcome those challenges. We provide resources, guidance and education to support retail environmental compliance and sustainability professionals, and work together with this community to explore and develop new and innovative solutions. Most recently, the RCC established a decision-support platform to optimize program design and promote peer benchmarking, using an open innovation process to find new ways to approach existing problems and bring together retail professionals from different functions to build new solutions. The RCC website (www.retailcompliance.org) serves as the hub for these resources and educational material designed specifically for the unique challenges of the retail industry.
