In this issue of Contact International, we share some of the highlights of the first virtual International SPAR Congress.

With shopper trends moving increasingly towards health and sustainability, we introduce in this issue a newly launched zero-packaging dispenser solution for loose bulk foods, featuring products from the successful sustainable SPAR Natural line.

SPAR also continues to work with entrepreneurial platforms to find sustainable solutions to reduce food waste, as highlighted in our feature about responsible retailing technology partnerships.

SPAR’s independent retailers are a vital driver of the brand’s growth, serving their respective communities with expertise and dedication. In the Local Champion section, we hear from SPAR retailer and SPAR International Guild Member Christian Prauchner.
