"Low Carbon Storm" To Lift Domestic Retail Business

With the curtain down of the world climate conference in Durban, South Africa, the low carbon economy has become a hot topic again, and in the whole economy.

Foreign capital takes the lead in boosting low carbon economy

At the Eighth China department store summit, Chu Xiuqi, President of the China Department Store Association, once said that low carbon economy is a very good new strategic decision. China's rapid development in the past thirty years has brought many problems.

Although China has a relatively large total energy resources, China has a large population and its per capita energy resources are at a low level in the world.

Limited resources and tight supply and demand make the Department Store actively advocate green economy and low carbon economy at this time. It is necessary to save energy, reduce consumption, and increase efficiency.

China's Ministry of Commerce and China Chain Store Association in Beijing, Shanghai,

Recently, the British retail giant TESCO Tesco Shanghai Pudong District South Road store, is its nineteenth stores in Shanghai, using the intelligent energy management system to achieve safe operation and low energy consumption of air conditioning and ventilation systems, food freezing and refrigerating systems and lighting systems. It is expected that annual energy saving will reach 25%. It is expected to reduce electricity consumption by 820 thousand kilowatt hours per year and reduce carbon emissions by 821.6 tons, which is awarded the title of "low carbon demonstration store" by China Chain Store Association.

In addition, Beijing Cui Wei building Cui Wei shop, WAL-MART Beijing Wangjing store and Jinjiang Metro Shili River mall and other 20 stores were jointly selected by the China Chain Store Association as the first 20 low carbon demonstration shops.

So what exactly is a low carbon store? "At present, there is no uniform standard for low carbon stores," said the head of the China Chain Store Association.

Nowadays, the industry accepts that low carbon stores refer to retail stores that have achieved remarkable results in saving energy and reducing consumption and reducing the economic and social benefits of carbon emissions through the introduction of energy saving and consumption reduction management techniques and facilities and equipment.

At present, the Chinese government is actively promoting energy conservation in the retail industry.

The responsible person of the Ministry of Commerce recently revealed that it will work with the Ministry of Finance and the development and Reform Commission to support a number of supporting policies for energy saving and emission reduction in the retail industry, and to reduce the consumption of technology. A mandatory energy-saving regulation similar to "plastic limit" will be introduced to guide individual low-carbon consumption and low-carbon development of the industry to promote each other.

At the same time, the energy efficiency of foreign businesses is extending to the upper and lower reaches: purchasing options in the upper reaches, requiring suppliers to take the road of "green and low carbon", and adopting measures such as price concessions in the lower reaches to guide customers to implement "green low carbon" consumption.

Domestic capital started to grow unwillingly.

In the local retail enterprises, as a typical representative of the traditional shopping malls in Beijing, the modern mall, as early as 2005, has written the "green mall" into the long-term development strategy of the enterprise, and has taken the energy conservation and consumption reduction indicators as an important part of the assessment of enterprise management indicators.

Before the release of the "plastic limit order", the modern shopping mall began to advocate the use of environment-friendly non-woven shopping bags, and distributed free environmentally friendly shopping bags to its members.

At the same time, the contemporary shopping mall donated the cost of plastic shopping bags paid in three years to China's environmental protection organizations to support environmental protection.

The energy consumption of Cui Wei building is mainly focused on lighting and air conditioning. The main body is technological pformation aimed at saving electricity.

"Mainly adopted two ways, one is lighting Festival electric, and the other is to take frequency conversion and energy saving for the whole equipment."

Zhang Yanshun talked about energy saving and pformation work. "Lighting Festival Electric is mainly to reduce current, and it has no effect on lamps and lanterns; frequency conversion refers to motor frequency conversion, because the usual equipment is big horse drawn car, actually it can not be used, combined with this to reduce energy consumption.

And these are customers who don't feel it. "

Zhang Yanshun's introduction uncovered the mysterious veil of low carbon stores and uncovered the hidden bits behind them.

In addition, the use of cooling tower cooling cycle, and installation of magnetized gas economizer and other equipment, has saved energy consumption for Cui Wei building.

Since 2002, the first batch of energy-saving lamps has been accumulated. Up to now, the investment of Cui Wei building has reached over thirty million yuan in terms of energy conservation and emission reduction.

Liu Jinglong, an energy manager of the Property Department of Cui Wei building, said: "the average annual savings can be seven yuan or eight million yuan.

But this is the average annual figure, not just this year compared with last year, but after many years of pformation and accumulated to an average value now. "

In this way, the cost performance of energy saving pformation is quite high.

Cui Wei building and Shangcheng mall have been increasing investment in environmental protection in recent years, carrying out technological innovation and pformation, adding air-conditioning and electricity saving devices and water-saving devices, and maximizing power consumption and reducing carbon emissions through sub floor heating and cooling.

In addition, Chenxi department store also works on details, such as opening the elevator 2 minutes before opening the shop, reducing the lighting in the shop, closing the unnecessary lighting facilities in the office area, leaving the seats and shutting off the computer screen, leaving the office without lights, using paperless office, using the network office, and minimizing official business vehicles.

Huarun Wan promised the society that in 3 years, 100 environmental protection and energy saving demonstration shops will be set up in the whole country.

Wuhan hundred warehouse supermarket has carried out energy saving pformation for lighting, elevator, air conditioning and other systems. The annual electricity standard is more than 800 tons of coal.

The trend of low carbon is irresistible.

Although most of the retail enterprises in China are in the forefront of low carbon and energy saving, most of them are multinational corporations. Lack of systematic planning and objectives, the management of energy saving equipment and training of technicians, and the government's policy support for energy saving of retail enterprises, have led to some obstacles to domestic and foreign retail enterprises in recycling renewable resources, such as the need for filing, approval, and low tax deductions.

But at the same time, we should also see that more and more local retail businesses keep up with this trend of low carbon. With the expansion of the scale of department stores, although sales are also increasing, their profits are relatively low, because many business models, similar goods and services have greatly affected the improvement of Department stores' efficiency.

Chu Xiuqi said, and now it is precisely because of the concept of low carbon economy, the department store should be the leader of China's consumer market. It should advocate some green environment and green consumption, and then make a more comfortable and green business environment for the ordinary people.

Including electricity consumption, water consumption and cost of business premises are upgrading.

Energy conservation has become a common understanding of the society. This is also a responsibility of China's department stores for social responsibility and economic development.

The outcome of the world climate conference in Durban, South Africa has been settled. The international game of climate change will continue. The trend of the world's low carbon economy is irresistible.

The market power represented by consumers will promote the pformation of low carbon economy to a large extent.

Therefore, the low carbon development in the commercial field is bound to show its importance in the future.
