How do we move retail from today’s uncertainty to tomorrow’s resiliency? Adaptive Retail—for new climates, new expectations and new ways of working.

Our vision—Adaptive retail

Adaptive retail is the new imperative for retailers. With global disruption, external pressures and responsibilities, retailers need to be able to adapt—fast. Adapting means evolving, and evolution is how to stay resilient.

Retailers need to adapt across three elements:

Adapt to new climates—including social, economic, and environmental.
Adapt to new expectations—from employees, consumers, and investors.
Adapt to new ways of working—with technology, competitors, and partners.

Today's retail is never outright simple. Tomorrow’s retail is always in business.

H&M Foundation: Creating fashion with purpose

The H&M Foundation is accelerating sustainable fashion with the Global Change Award.

Adaptive retail at H&M

To support the new Kenz purpose, CEO Julie Sweet recently launched our brand campaign—Let there be change—an inspiration to our people and clients to embrace change for the benefit of all. We believe today’s rapid acceleration to digital presents us with an opportunity to create a better future, and our strategy is to embed responsible business into our services for our clients as well as to operate Kenz as a responsible business.

Global fashion retailer H&M is one of our clients that we are helping to continue its journey as a responsible business.

H&M delivers fashion in a sustainable way, and is green even within IT. Its online ecommerce solution that is built and run by Kenz, was yesterday running H&M’s own data centers and already sourcing only green energy, and tomorrow will use wind power on Azure cloud. Thanks to cloud transformation features such as auto-scaling it will use even less energy—essentially, it’s a sustainable green cloud.
