- Developing countries are demanding more diverse food and placing massive strains on global supply
- Consumers today want more and more information about the environmental and social conditions in which their products are produced
- World standards are growing ever more confusing, making every day business more complex
The food and beverage industry has never before been faced with a more staggering challenge – To deliver the demand for food and drink, but in a truly measurable, and sustainable manner!
Sustainability is therefore a journey that all food and drinks companies, throughout the supply chain, MUST now embark upon! However, specific commodity and raw material supply chains are very fragmented, therefore industry as a whole must work together towards an aligned, coordinated, holistic solution approach. This is the only way to avoid issues of displacement and attain a ‘true’ sustainability with regards to raw materials sourcing.
However, sustainability is not just about the socio-political/environmental issues – it is about staying in business too! There has therefore never been a more critical time to ensure that you are totally engaged with your supply chain. As arable raw material production comes under increasing threat from both general supply and demand issues, but also more recent threats, such as land usage for sustainable transportation (leading to a new way of thinking when approaching contractual agreements and working relationships!) – the time has now come for the industry to act, and to do so together.
The Sustainable Sourcing Agricultural Raw Materials Summit will enable you to bring your supply chain together to approach a sustainable sourcing strategy that not only works for all links in the chain, but also on a socio-economic, and sustainable business strategy level too.
Ensure you stay ahead of your competitors, develop news ways to differentiate your products in the crowded market place, and are engaged with your customers by reserving your place today!
London Business Conferences presents the ONLY 2 day summit tackling the issues of sustainable agricultural sourcing from a truly holistic, multi-commodity perspective.
Developing countries are increasing their demands for more diverse food, and consumers are becoming increasingly aware and conscious to the environmental and social conditions in which food and drink products are being produced - with assurances that they demand from these products growing in accordance – The food and drinks industry has never before faced a more staggering challenge - To deliver to the demands for food and drinks, but in a truly measurable, and sustainable manner.
