Key issues:

  • Effects and causes
    The majority of companies surveyed worldwide – 94 percent – estimate shrinkage as a percentage of turnover in the 0-3 percent range.


  • Setting policy, measuring loss
    Many companies worldwide (and all companies in the Asia Pacific region) report that shrinkage is a board-level issue.


  • Working with employees and suppliers
    A large proportion of companies use pay incentives linked to loss prevention, with companies in the Americas most likely to use incentives.


  • Investing in loss prevention
    Technology, training and in-store security are the key investments that companies have made to combat shrinkage – over 90 percent of companies have invested in all three areas. Companies are much less likely to invest in advice and other services from third party providers – less than half of companies use third party providers.
