Bryan Pearson, President and CEO, LoyaltyOne

A single shopper can have a major influence on sustainability, one swipe at time, thanks to the AIR MILES Reward Program. North America’s largest coalition loyalty program realizes that inspiring consumer behavior socially, rather than simply influencing purchases, encourages systemic changes that help the earth. To this end, it launched AIR MILES My Planet, a program offering its members – more than two thirds of Canadian households – in excess of 100 opportunities to live green, from transit passes to cleaning products. This session will detail the eco-friendly mechanics of the program and its opportunities to energize change. From teaming with sponsors and reward suppliers to launching an online Learning Centre, AIR MILES My Planet is the complete program.
