Mainstage 2 | We Mean Business: Leaning in Across the Food Sector
Mainstage Session
As waste generators, food businesses play a critical role in the fight against food waste. Yet while enthusiasm for waste reduction initiatives is high, it can be hard to translate those commitments into concrete action that yields results. Building on our opening session’s theme of accelerating action, this second mainstage session examines opportunities for food businesses to step up and do their part. We’ll hear from a panel of sustainability leaders from the some of the largest food retailers as they discuss what they’re doing to drive progress in their own operations – and throughout the broader food system. Plus we’ll get updates on some promising opportunities for business collaboration.
