Inspire a more sustainable way to retail

Each product we produce, use and dispose has a specific social-ecological impact. Being faced with a very complex product-lifecycle, a consumer cannot be aware of the exact consequences the product might have triggered. With QVC you can tackle the exciting task to create a more transparent lifecycle of their products and therefore help them and their customers to enhance ethical consumption.

To support you in your idea and team generation process, you have the opportunity to participate in one of our digital Design Thinking Workshop - register here or find more information here.

What is your vision for the digital and sustainable world of tomorrow?

And we are proud to have been creating these experiences for decades – online, via App, on Social Media and on TV – forging strong relationships as a result. Our customer loyalty rates are the envy of retail. But with relationships comes responsibility. For us, that responsibility means making sure that these moments of joy also help build a better world.
