Retail Leaders to Examine What It Takes to Make AI Work in Retail

Retailers already understand what they spend on energy. The bigger challenge is identifying where performance is slipping across a store network, what requires attention, and whether upgrades are delivering the expected result.


At Retail Show Australia 2026, Dana King from David Jones and Jessica Wilson from Schneider Electric will bring retailer and industry perspectives together for the session:

“From Data to Action: The Retail Advantage Hidden in Sustainability Data”


The discussion will examine how better sustainability data can support practical decision-making across large retail estates, from monitoring store performance and prioritising upgrades to informing capital planning and operational investment.


For retailers managing multiple locations, the value of sustainability data goes beyond reporting. Used effectively, it can help teams identify inefficiencies, compare performance across sites, and make more informed decisions about where resources and investment should be directed.

Join Retail Show Australia 2026 to hear how retailers can turn sustainability data into clearer operational decisions and stronger store performance.
