Building a Sustainability Road Map for your Food Business

THE FOODBOWL
Event Date: 28 Nov 2019

Sustainability is one of the most complex and pressing topics in today’s business environment. Everyday there is a new statistic, trend or demand for your business to navigate. But where do you start? You must grow and protect the economic prosperity of your business, continue to engage, develop and reward your staff, and it’s critical you reduce waste and your impact on the environment. So how do you strike balance between these priorities? And as climate change and sustainability issues gain ever increasing political and consumer attention, the demands on your business will continue to escalate.

A global survey carried out by Nielsen found that 81% of consumers felt strongly that companies should help improve the environment.

Building a truly sustainable business won’t happen overnight. There is no silver bullet. So, you need strategy to guide your business and to communicate to your staff, customers and other stakeholders.

A strong sustainability strategy will link to your company’s purpose and values and fit with your wider business strategy.

The seminar will break developing a roadmap down into manageable pieces.

  • Understand the key concepts in sustainability
  • Review trends in sustainability locally and globally and their impact on food
  • Get started immediately with some simple how to steps
  • Review the process to build a roadmap for the next 2-5 years

Using examples from the food industry, we will guide you through each stage. You’ll learn:

  • Why it’s important for you to focus on sustainability
  • What’s likely to impact your business today and over the coming years
  • How to explain what you’re doing
  • Where and how to start developing your roadmap
