Recalculating Our Orbit: Sustainability and the New Role of Corporates

Earth Day, celebrated yearly on April 22, is the annual international day that supports environmental protection and raises awareness on the challenges posed by Climate Change. First celebrated in 1970 in the US, it came as a day of protest against the harmful effects that the industrial expansion was having on the environment.

On the occasion of the 51st anniversary of this day and for the second consecutive year, Talent Garden will be celebrating Earth Day with a special Virtual Summit, to discuss and highlight the growing role of corporates in sustainability, specifically in the agrifood sector. 2021 will be a pivotal year in the promotion and development of sustainable products, supply chains and collaborations - all elements that are crucial for the execution of such ideas and needs.

Noa Segre, Talent Garden Envisioner, will be moderating a round table discussion together with Accenture, Electrolux, Lavazza, Mutti, Riso Gallo and Var Group - leading EU players in the agrifood industry. The discussion will dive deep into the key issues corporates are facing throughout their supply chains, to uncover how they are implementing SDGs and ESG policies to answer to the needs of a new and more conscious consumer.

Takeaways

• You will hear first-hand from C-level executives how sustainability is guiding and leading in the definition of business strategies and policies; the implementation of technology and processes; and the production and distribution of products.
• You will discover about the best practices that leading EU Agrifood Brands have put in place, not only to answer to their clients needs and requests, but also to promote the planet health.
• You will learn how sustainability is perceived and how can we as individuals, companies and ecosystems work together on an international level to create real change.
