ESG Best Practices for the Food Industry

About This Webinar

What is ESG? Why is it relevant for food companies? Come join The Food Institute on Thursday, Feb. 25 as we provide an overview of the Environmental, Social, and Governance movement and review best practices for implementing ESG initiatives across operations. Also, hear from industry leaders Barilla Group and Just Salad as they share their approaches on tackling ESG issues within their companies.

Background and Context:

Environmental, Social, and Governance (ESG) issues have long been a secondary focus for many food companies. In fact, the industry has lagged far behind other sectors like energy and automotive. In 2021 and beyond, the ESG agenda will take center stage as consumers, investors, and governments demand accountability and compliance to a set of internationally-recognized standards.

Who Should Attend:

• Food Manufacturers
• Food Retailers
• Foodservice Operators
• Agricultural Companies
