Inform your product development on the net zero ambitions of major retailers and foodservice operators across the UK

The climate change/net zero conversation continues to build momentum and influences how we live and how we shop as well as what actions we all need to take to make an impact.

This workshop on 24 August 2021 shares the drivers behind the sustainability strategies of the major UK retailers and foodservice operators with Scottish food and drink producers and manufacturers to help them understand what actions they need to deliver.

It will showcase examples and allow participants the opportunity to ask an expert panel their views on the many topics that come under the sustainability agenda.

Topic areas include:

  • How important is sustainability in foodservice?
  • What matters most to retailers?
  • Market context from IGD, including shopper motivations and its Sustainability Framework
