ABOUT US
Supporting the retail industry to reduce loss
ECR Retail Loss is a global collaboration between retailers, suppliers and academics, working together to better understand and manage the causes of retail loss.
Our community includes 400+ of the biggest global retailers (our current Board members are from Aholddelhaize, Nike, Next, and Tesco) alongside consumer goods manufacturers, academics and researchers. Together, we explore practical ways to reduce shrink, fraud, food waste and other preventable losses across all channels. And thanks to the funding from our research grant providers, all of our research, insights and meetings are offered to the retail industry for free.
