Sustainable Foods Summit Unveiled

The first-ever conference dedicated to eco-labelling and sustainability has been unveiled by Organic Monitor. The inaugural Sustainable Foods Summit will be held in Amsterdam, June 25 to 27. It aims to bring together some of the most influential and key organisations involved in sustainability in the European food industry. A key feature of the summit is that it will focus on industry best-practices. The summit will give case studies of companies who have successfully and legitimately met the ethical & environmental challenges. Leading experts and organisations at the cutting edge of sustainability initiatives will present papers in a high-level forum. The premier summit will open with a dedicated session on Sustainable Pathways & Eco-labelling. Investing in Sustainability is the focus of the second session. With sustainability intricately linked to environment and social issues, this session looks at how companies can maximise their sustainable investments.
 

The second day of the Sustainable Foods Summit begins with an opening address titled ‘Sustainability from Farm to Fork’. The morning address sets the scene for the preceding papers that focus on Sustainable Supply Chains. The panel discussion will look at the possibility of gaining a competitive advantage from sustainable supply chains. The fourth session of the two-day programme focuses on the major Marketing & Industry Issues food companies face when taking the sustainability route. Case studies will be given of companies who have successfully and legitimately met the ethical & environmental challenges. The summit will close with a post-conference workshop aimed to help companies build sustainable supply chains. The interactive workshop looks at the major challenges companies face when developing sustainable supply chains, offering practical solutions. The Sustainable Foods Summit has been launched by Organic Monitor following its success with similar summits, seminars & workshops. Co-organised with Beyond Beauty Paris, the Natural Beauty Summit has become the premier international conference on the natural cosmetics industry since its launch in 2007.
