Leaving Value on the Table: What Food Businesses Get Wrong About Sustainability

Join our three-part webinar series to learn where others have gone wrong, avoid costly missteps, and uncover the commercial opportunities sustainability can create.

Sustainability is more than an environmental conversation. For food businesses, it is connected to commercial performance, market access, resilience, risk reduction and long-term business value.

Organisations that can prove their sustainability performance are unlocking value.

Leaving Value on the Table is a free, three-part webinar series built for food businesses who are developing their sustainability approach, reviewing an existing strategy, or looking for greater value from their sustainability action.

Across three sessions, we’ll explore how practical sustainability strategy creates business value, how to set meaningful targets, and how to make sustainability claims that are credible, evidence-based and defensible.

Drawing on our experience across sustainability, assurance, and the food and primary sectors, our experts will share practical insights and examples to help you make more confident decisions and turn ambition into action.

This series is built for your business if:
  •    You are a food or primary sector business
  •    You know you need to take action in the area of sustainability, but don’t know where to start
  •    You've invested some time and money into sustainability, but couldn't clearly say what it's delivered commercially
  •    Sustainability decisions in your business rely on one person, or one consultant
  •    Every part of the business has a different view of what should come first
  •    Customers, lenders, or buyers are asking sustainability questions faster than you can answer them
  •    Sustainability keeps landing on the ‘someday’ pile; once you've scaled, once there's more time, or once there's budget
