This case study presentation highlights how EE and Paragan Global Brands are working together to deliver impactful sustainability across retail.

As part of the “New EE” brand launch, EE is reimagined its 430 stores to be more experiential and environmentally responsible. With Net Zero targets set for 2041 and a commitment to recyclable store materials, EE is embedding sustainability at every touchpoint.

EE’s retail execution partner, Paragon Retail Brands shares aligned goals with a Net Zero target of 2040 and a proven framework to reduce emissions across production, logistics, and procurement. Together, they are delivering store solutions that minimise waste and maximise circularity.

In-store fixtures now feature recycled and recyclable materials, FSC-certified wood, and energy-efficient lighting. Waste from single-use plastics has been cut by switching to biodegradable packaging, and previously non-recyclable display materials have been replaced with sustainable alternatives.

Key Takeaways:

  • Aligned sustainability goals between brand and supplier drive success
  • Circular materials and responsible sourcing are central to store design
  • Waste and carbon impact reduced across visuals, logistics, and fixtures
  • Retail sustainability requires innovation and cross-functional partnership

This project shows how collaboration and shared responsibility can lead to meaningful, measurable sustainability in retail.
