PnP, Woolies shortlisted for World Retail Awards 2009
The World Retail Awards, in partnership with Oracle, are the only awards that recognise the outstanding innovation and creativity delivered by retailers across the globe. These awards set benchmarks of excellence in modern retailing and the shortlisted finalists, together with the winners, provide inspiration and direction to all retailers.
Commenting on the nomination, Woolworths Good business journey manager, Justin Smith says, "This nomination recognises that our Good business journey is a timely strategy. Our country's future growth depends on all of us doing our bit to conquer the challenge of diminishing resources and addressing our nation's transformational and social inequities. The Good business journey is about sustainability - of profits, the company, people and the environment."
The World Retail Awards culminates in the announcement of the winners at the Congress Gala Dinner which takes place at Barcelona's landmark building, the Palau Nacional, on 7 May 2009.
