Sustainability in retail and consumer packaged goods has spent years filed under advocacy, reporting and good intentions. Ann Tracy, Chief Sustainability Officer at Colgate-Palmolive, wants it filed under growth.In this episode of The Voice of Retail, Ann joins me from Colgate-Palmolive's research centre in Piscataway, New Jersey, ahead of her appearance at the Retail Council of Canada Retail Sustainability Conference in Toronto, where she takes the stage October 28 for a fireside chat with RCC President and CEO Kim Furlong.Ann brings an unusual lens to the sustainability conversation. An engineer by training, she has spent more than 35 years at Colgate-Palmolive, most of it in the global supply chain, with assignments across Asia, Europe, the UK and the United States spanning manufacturing, customer service, logistics and divisional supply chain leadership. That operating background shapes how she runs the file today, after the role moved from the supply chain into the company's growth and strategy team, making it broader, more enterprise-wide, and embedded in the business strategy itself.She also gives listeners a useful reminder of the scale involved. Colgate-Palmolive marks 220 years in the United States this year, generates over twenty billion dollars in net revenue, employs roughly 34,000 people and sells in 200 countries across four core categories: oral care, home care, personal care with regional icons like Palmolive, Sanex and Irish Spring, and pet nutrition through Hill's Pet Nutrition, plus a growing premium skin health business. Colgate sits in more homes than any other brand in the world. At that volume, a small packaging design change ripples through plastic tonnage, pallet counts and the entire retail supply chain.The heart of our conversation is the 2030 sustainability strategy, which Ann describes as an evolution rather than a revolution, building on the sunset 2025 plan across three ambition spaces: driving social impact, helping millions of homes, and preserving the environment. What distinguishes 2030 is a hard lean into value creation, and her insistence that sustainability teams learn to speak finance and marketing rather than acronyms and temperature scenarios.We dig into the intention-action gap, where more than ninety percent of consumers say they support sustainability but far fewer act on it because they will not trade away price, convenience, quality or performance, nor should they. We also cover long-term resilience, the finite nature of plant, mineral, animal and fossil-fuel-based ingredients, and why retailers are essential partners in shaping value creation on physical and e-commerce shelves.A smart, practical listen for retailers, CPG leaders, merchants and sustainability professionals heading to Toronto in October.Connect with Ann Tracy on LinkedIn, and catch her with Kim Furlong at the Retail Council of Canada Retail Sustainability Conference on October 28.https://rccretailsustainability.ca/ Presented by Konek, Canada's Way to Pay.

Friday, 24 July 2026 Which of the two did the will of his father?” They said to Him, “The first.” Jesus said to them, “Assuredly, I say to you that tax collectors and harlots enter the kingdom of God before you. Matthew 21:31 “‘Which from the two, He did the ‘determination, the father'?' They say to him, ‘The first.' He says to them, the ‘Jesus', ‘Amen! I say to you that the taxmen and the prostitutes, they precede you into the ‘kingdom, the God'.'” (CG) In the previous verse, Jesus continued the parable, noting that the second son said he would go into the field, but he didn't go. Jesus next asks the leader a question, “Which from the two, He did the ‘determination, the father'?” The question probably didn't take long for them to think through. The first son said he wouldn't go, but later regretted it and went. The second son said he would go, but never went. The answer is obvious, and so, “They say to him, ‘The first.'” The leaders of Israel were able to figure it out. Even if the first was testy in his response and left dad without committing to work, he had a conscience and let it work through until he resolved to go. The second was quick with a positive response, but he never did what he said he would do. Having answered correctly, Matthew next records, “He says to them, the ‘Jesus', ‘Amen! I say to you that the taxmen and the prostitutes.'” A new word is seen here, porné, a sex worker. Figuratively, it is applied to idolaters. The two categories, taxmen and prostitutes, were about as lowly as one could go in the Israelite society. Understanding that Jesus is speaking to the leaders of Israel, who were rather amazing in their own eyes, the next words must have been very hard for them to receive. These lowly people, Jesus continues, “they precede you into the ‘kingdom, the God.'” Jesus will explain the reason for His words in the next verse, but it is obvious that they are the second son referred to in the parable. They have said they would do something, but their actions belie their words. Life application: Think about how God receives people. The Bible says we are saved by grace through faith. No works are included in the equation. And yet, all over the world, people are doing their very best to earn God's favor in some manner or another. This is true with the world at large, but the attitude permeates Christianity as well. Much of this is prompted by denominations and churches that mandate certain things from their people, as if those things will make a person right before God. Obviously, money is one of the big items on such a list. Sometimes, the expectation for money is so inculcated into people that there is no need to mention tithing. The RCC has a pretty good handle on their people giving, even though tithing is not a main weekly teaching. If you go into a Baptist church, you might hear tithing mentioned two or three times in every meeting you attend. Some churches make it sound like you will receive God's favor if you give, pulling verses from Scripture out of their context in order to get their followers to give more. But the implication is that in not giving, you are not doing right. They will use catch phrases, repeating them again and again to assure their followers that giving will mean getting. The great ATM in the sky rewards you with interest every time you give to the church. In the end, such teachings make people feel like they must earn God's favor. Other groups of people believe they are inherently good as individuals or as a culture. Because of this, God loves them and will swing the door of salvation open to them just because of who they are. Many Jewish people are certain they are in this category and that they have automatic entrance into heaven because of who they are (Jews). Jesus sweeps all of this nonsense away. He alone has accomplished what is necessary to be pleasing to God. You cannot buy your way into it, and you are not inherently special enough for God to make an exception for you. The things you possess, the degrees you might have, the family line you belong to, etc., are not exceptions to God's plan of salvation. There are those who have received the gospel, accepted Jesus' payment for their sin, and who will be saved, and there is everyone else. Jesus' words to the leaders of Israel must have been shocking and offensive to their ears, and this was before He died for their sins. How much more offended must they have been when they were told that they were sinners like all other people, and they would not see heaven without believing the gospel? But this is how it was, how it is, and how it will be. Jesus alone restores fallen man to God. Let us be wise in our choice and then diligent in our proclamation to others. To the glory of God who sent Jesus to bring us back to Himself! Lord God Almighty, thank You for receiving lowly people who come to You by faith. Thank You for allowing us to be included in Your wonderful plan of salvation through simple belief in what You have done. All praise, glory, and honor to You forever and ever. Amen.

We're in a season of transition at RCC, stepping out before our new building is ready. It feels uncertain, maybe even uncomfortable. But here's what God keeps reminding us: "I will never leave you nor forsake you."Just like Joshua stood at the Jordan River, facing the unknown after Moses died, we're at our own crossing point. God told Joshua three times to "be strong and courageous" because Joshua was scared. Maybe you're scared too—about our church's transition, your health, your marriage, your job. Whatever you're facing, God is asking: Do you believe I'm with you?Jesus was forsaken on the cross so we never would be. That's the promise we stand on as we move forward. We're not forsaken. We have a purpose in this season. Will you lean in with us? Consecrate your heart and ask God what He's doing in this moment.It's going to be okay. He's with us wherever we go.

“Is Catholicism a false church?” This question opens a discussion on the validity of Catholicism compared to Eastern Orthodoxy, particularly regarding changes in liturgy and fasting rules. The conversation also addresses whether first-century Christians prayed to saints and explores what Catholics believe about salvation in contrast to the “once saved, always saved” perspective. Join the Catholic Answers Live Club Newsletter Invite our apologists to speak at your parish! Visit Catholicanswersspeakers.com Questions Covered: 04:35 – Considering Catholicism or Eastern Orthodoxy. If the majority of bishops left the RCC, is that a sign they are a false church? Also, if Catholics changed liturgy/fasting rules while EO have been consistent, is that a sign they are a false church? 20:30 – How to Respond to the claim. Did first-century Christians pray to the saints? My protestant friend says it started in the third century. 31:05 – What do Catholics believe they have to do to be saved, and how do I respond to the once saved always saved belief? What are simple verses to refute that? 42:22 – Agnostic Brother Asked thinks Christianity is too Anthropocentric. He has a hard time believing that the universe was made for human beings primarily. 47:20 – Best Friend and brother want to convert to EO because of the filioque. How can I respond?

In this very special live edition of The Voice of Retail podcast — the first live recording in nearly 550 episodes on the main-stage at Retaiul Council of Canada's STORE conference — host Michael LeBlanc takes the stage at Retail Council of Canada's STORE Conference in Toronto with three of Canadian retail's most compelling leaders: Julia Freeman, CEO of The Jilly Box, David Brownstein, President of Browns Shoes, and back on the podcast for his third visit Selwyn Crittendon, CEO of IKEA Canada and newly appointed Chair of the Retail Council of Canada Board of Directors. Julia Freeman shares the remarkable story of The Jilly Box, co-founded by content creator Jillian Harris — fresh off her Independent Retail Ambassador of the Year 2026 award — which sells 20,000 surprise subscription boxes in under 24 hours, 27 seasons in a row, while championing small Canadian, women-owned and equity-deserving brands. Julia offers a candid assessment of the state of Canadian e-commerce, the patriotic "shop Canadian" wave reshaping consumer behaviour post-tariffs, and how The Market by The Jilly Box marketplace is delivering industry-leading conversion with four units per basket. David Brownstein, fourth-generation leader of Montreal-based Browns Shoes, celebrates a banner week as his father, CEO Michael Brownstein, received the Lifetime Achievement Award at the Excellence in Retailing Awards Gala. David reveals the store design philosophy behind Browns' 71 locations — wide entrances, best merchandise up front, AI-embedded traffic counting — plus why Browns has never hired a store leader from outside in 86 years, and why brand partners like On, Birkenstock and UGG are complements, not competitors. Selwyn Crittendon lays out IKEA Canada's grounded AI philosophy: better retailing, better operational efficiency, and better jobs — built on clean data, mandatory AI literacy training for 7,200 coworkers, and a firm commitment that AI augments rather than replaces people. He also unpacks IKEA's small-format expansion strategy, from plan and order points pioneered in Canada to the new London, Ontario store and IKEA's bold SoHo move in New York, and explains why sustainability paired with affordability is "the new superpower of retail." The conversation ranges from family business dynamics and talent retention to influencer marketing strategy — including Julia's advice that your associates and small business partners may be your most powerful untapped brand ambassadors — and wraps with David's three keys to retail success today: empower frontline employees to make customer-service decisions, break down organizational silos to stay agile in the AI era, and invest relentlessly in retaining great people. Recorded in front of a live studio audience — complete with a surprise Jilly Box giveaway featuring the sold-out first-ever men's box — this episode captures the energy, optimism and hard-won wisdom of Canadian retail's best, and Selwyn's reflections on why he stepped up to chair the RCC board during turbulent times.
