E-Commerce

January 2024 – Sustainable E-Commerce (Electronic Commerce) refers to sustainable practices by online retailers to meet market demand while minimizing their negative impact on the environment using green sustainable practices in every step of the process: from production to delivery to waste disposal. Implementation steps include assessing the carbon footprint, setting goals, aligning business operations, engaging suppliers, promoting sustainable choices, and measuring progress to lead the industry forward on sustainability. In 2016, at the United Nations Conference on Trade And Development (UNCTAD), the eTrade for all initiative was established to promote sustainable E-commerce practices supporting sustainable development goals.
