Session title: How The Supplant Company solves the biggest health and climate problems in consumer products
• Solving the ‘food system trilemma’ of poor nutrition, climate impact and food insecurity
• Improving the food system’s circular economy with a system-wide solution
• Balancing nutrition and sustainability for wholesale and food service businesses
Simmons will be joined by speakers from the likes of Nestlé, Medik8, Sipsmith, Abel & Cole, Quorn Foods, The Cotswold Company and Cross River Partnership at the event, to name but a few.
The conference, which will be held at 30 Euston Square, is a one-day face-to-face event where delegates can hear directly from industry-leading speakers about how business sustainability can influence their bottom line. It is totally free to attend for buyers of logistics services.
Innovation will continue to drive supply chain sustainability in the years to come. At the Sustainable Supply Chain Conference, delegates will learn how to ‘go green’ throughout their end-to-end operations, discussing topics such as procurement, operations, retirement, data and communication. Overall, the conference will consider the environmental and human impact of products, from cradle to grave.
From raw materials sourcing, production, storage and delivery to every transportation link in-between, the journey is not easy – the complexity of many supplier relationships and border crossings makes supply chain sustainability extremely challenging. But the payback for getting it right is priceless, delivering on the three Ps of the bottom line – people, profits and the planet.
