Retail Compass Autumn edition 2021

Welcome to the Autumn edition of Retail Compass, where we guide you through key upcoming legal and policy changes affecting Retail and provide our thoughts on those crucial, need-to-know issues.

We’ve been busy helping our Retail clients navigate the challenges and opportunities for the sector this Summer. In this Autumn edition we cover labour shortages, CMA’s guidance on environmental claims, HFSS ads, ESG finance as well as much more.

Alongside our horizon scanning pieces and other developments, we have guest contributions from:

• Lisa Byfield-Green, Research Director, Retail Week on navigating disruption in a rapidly-evolving market
• Kyle Monk, Director of Insight at The British Retail Consortium on key insights as Retail enters the crucial fourth quarter, and
• The Chancery Lane Project, on net zero supply chains. We also include key statistics and links to our legislation tracker which list all of the UK Government consultations and inquiries relevant to Retail.

We hope you enjoy this Autumn edition and find it useful. As always, please do not hesitate to contact us if you have any feedback or queries.
