Earth Day is happening on 22 April this year so it seems apt that Takashimaya Department Store has introduced a more eco-conscious retail experience as it unveils a series of new sustainability-focused programmes and activities, which will take place between 1 April and 31 May.
You can look forward to activations that help you “shop greener”, eco-conscious brand offerings, and an eco-food bazaar that helps you eat and shop more sustainably.
Read on to find out what other programmes they have lined up for you.
