H&M Climbs to Second Place in Retail Week Indicator
H&M is proud to score 2nd place in this year’s Retail Week Indicator, up from 18th place in 2018 and behind only Amazon. The Retail Week Indicator is published annually by UK trade magazine Retail Week and covers 176 retailers in the UK.
The Indicator provides a comprehensive audit of the top retailers in the UK across 30,000 data points and four categories: marketing, logistics and customer service, cross-channel and e-commerce, in order to provide a 360-degree view of which retailers are setting the standard for others to follow. H&M has scored within the top 10 retailers in all four Indicator categories – the only retailer to do so.

says Daniel Claesson, Head of Business Development at H&M Group.
