About ECR

ECR (Efficient Consumer Response) is a platform for cooperation and exchange of experience and best practices between manufacturers and retailers that combine their efforts to offer the consumer the best quality of goods and services, jointly forming demand, reducing costs throughout the supply chain and developing common standards for technological provision. ECR unites suppliers and retailers from 20 European countries.



"To promote mutual understanding between the supplier and the retailer, including the level of understanding business models - one of the main aims of ECR."
"Joint business planning, dialogue, mutual support and solution of problems that arise on both sides ultimately lead to better results for both retailer and suppliers. We invite our partners to move together in this direction. I believe that we should not miss the opportunity to make our interaction more effective for both parties."
"We are glad that the Russian market has a convenient platform for the effective dialogue between manufacturers and retailers. The world we want tomorrow starts with how we do business today. By collaborating within ECR, we are not only shaping the consumer experience of tomorrow, but together also strive to be closer to the consumer today, tomorrow and every day."
