Sustainability is the focus of ShelfLife’s April edition, with a special report in partnership with BWG Foods on how Ireland’s retail sector is adapting to future-proof the industry.

In keeping with this theme, Fionnuala Carolan speaks to retail groups about how the new Deposit Return Scheme for bottles and cans should work. Elsewhere, Dan White examines how introducing minimum unit pricing for alcohol could increase cross-border trade. And Julia O’Reilly asks whether a scheme similar to Belfast’s ‘Retail Crimewatch’ initiative might work south of the border too.

Within our ‘Advisor’ section, Excel Recruitment’s Barry Whelan gives tips on how to achieve your career goals, The HR Suite’s Caroline McEnery explains how to deal with the long-term illness of an employee, and Colin Gordon outlines why marketing needs to remember that the customer, purchaser and consumer are all equally important.

As always, our category features provide an in-depth look at the trends, brands and developments driving sales in-store; focusing on the gin, ice cream, soft drinks and sugar confectionery sectors.
