STATE OF PLAY, CHALLENGES AND SECTOR IMPROVEMENTS
The European and International Booksellers Federation (EIBF) and its RISE Bookselling network members take climate change seriously. We have commissioned research into the best practices that booksellers can utilise to run a more sustainable, eco-conscious bookshop.
Our research collates international best practices for sustainability in the bookselling sector. From rethinking energy suppliers and reusing packaging material, to conducting an energy audit and engaging with other parts of the book value chain. We aim to provide booksellers with practical tips to help them conduct their business in a more environmentally friendly way.
