‘It’s time for courageous leadership’: Sign up to the free Sustainability Summit

The free to join Sustainability Summit, which takes place on 19 September, will explore how hospitality operators can use science-based strategies to build a greener business and drive growth.  

Join experts including Sue Williams, former general manager of Whatley Manor and founder of Positive Hospitality, from 10am-11:30am, who will share their practical tips for businesses at this free event for hospitality operators. 

Other speakers include Danny Pecorelli, managing director at the Exclusive Collection, winner of the Sustainable Business Award at this year’s Cateys for industry-leading efforts across the hotel group. 

Sign up to join the virtual event, where operators will discuss the importance of driving a sustainability strategy in a measured and evidenced way. 

Sponsors the European Commission and Compass Group UK & Ireland will also present at the event.   

The summit will cover the importance of data and how to be part of resilient food systems that foster a greener industry.  

Williams said: “It’s time for courageous leadership. We can no longer sit around the periphery by doing the soft touches of segregating waste and changing light bulbs. Businesses need strategy and we must all go on a journey of robust measurement.”   

The Caterer editor James Stagg added: “Sustainability continues to be front of mind for operators as they push forward with strategies to create greener businesses.  

“But the concern we’re hearing from our readers is how do they know if their efforts are making a real difference? Our panel of experts will highlight how sustainable business strategies must be based on science-based targets and be evidenced along the way.  

“Join us as we gather the best-in-class sustainable operators to talk about how to ensure existing sustainability strategies are creating dynamic change for a better future.”
