Sensormatic Solutions released its 2021 Sustainability Story white paper, detailing its sustainability efforts.
“We are committed to developing innovations that positively impact sustainability outcomes for a brighter future in all aspects of our business, from our products, to our processes, to our people," said Bjoern Petersen, global managing director and chief strategy and growth pfficer, Sensormatic Solutions. "As a leader in retail technology and part of Johnson Controls — a strong voice in sustainability policy around the world — we hold ourselves to high environmental and social standards while helping our suppliers, partners, and retail customers do the same. Responsible Retail is the north star for everything we do.”
Sensormatic Solutions built its portfolio on a foundation of sustainability. The organization’s focus on prioritizing responsible retail practices while leveraging innovative technology and meeting retailers' evolving needs is apparent in all facets of its business.
The following represent just a few examples of how Sensormatic Solutions leads the charge toward a more sustainable retail future through its solutions for inventory intelligence, shopper experience, loss prevention, and operational effectiveness:
• Sensormatic Solutions' latest generation of Electronic Article Surveillance (EAS) systems consume 50% less power than earlier models and feature a “power save” mode that can result in 30% less energy use per 12-hour store day.
• Sensormatic Solutions Inventory Intelligence solution leverages radio frequency identification (RFID) to deliver accurate, real-time insights that can help reduce waste, carbon emissions, and energy use throughout the entire supply chain.
• Shopper insights provide retailers with a comprehensive understanding of their shoppers’ behaviors to help make smarter decisions about stores and properties, including when to adjust hours for maximum occupancy to save energy and water, as well as reduce CO2 from wasted trips to stores that are not properly staffed or where inventory is unavailable.
• Over the past year, Sensormatic Solutions Visual Source Tags Recirculation (VSTR) initiative resulted in 1.5 billion tags recirculated, with 11.4 billion tags recirculated since the program’s inception in 2010.
Sensormatic Solutions understands the importance of sustainability and convenience for consumers —and Sensormatic IQ helps retailers leverage actionable insights to meet both demands. After all, the shopper experience hinges on perfectly timed moments of truth or ‘precision retail’ — engagement on the customer’s terms, providing the right item at the right place at the right time.
Moments between customers, stores, associates, and merchandise opportunities for retailers can positively impact the brand experience and execute seamless unified commerce, all with sustainability in mind. For example:
• Item-level inventory ensures a shopper’s trip is purposeful, knowing that their item will be in stock or ready for pick up, helping to avoid making wasted trips.
• Data integration from shopper insights can help visualize both staff service level and shopper time dedicated to transactions, determining efficient shopper journeys, and reducing wasted trips to stores where staffing levels are not aligned to demand of services.
Sensormatic Solutions continuously reviews its own operations, facilities, and fleets to improve environmental performance and energy management by identifying and reducing every excess. Its facilities also prioritize reducing water and power consumption, greenhouse gas emissions, and waste sent to landfills through a variety of initiatives.
