Last chance to register for The Caterer’s free Sustainability Summit

There are only a couple of days left to register for The Caterer’s free online Sustainability Summit.

 

*The Caterer's *Sustainability Summit, sponsored by Alaska Seafood Marketing Institute, will be held on Thursday 21 October. Join us to hear from hospitality experts how the industry can work together to create a brighter future for our planet while maintaining profit margins.

 

Register for free to listen to advice and case studies from a raft of operators who are already on a journey to becoming a sustainable business. Gain tips and ask questions of those who understand the benefits and challenges of trying to achieve a net zero goal.

 

Speakers include Sue Williams, general manager of Whatley Manor providing a detailed case study of her journey to develop a business with sustainability at the core, while Juliane Caillouette-Noble, managing director of the Sustainable Restaurant Association, will lay out how hospitality can play its part in tackling the climate crisis by identifying problem areas and why they must be addressed before it’s too late.

 

Alaska Seafood Marketing Institute will bust some of the myths around responsible fishery management, while two panel discussions will allow the conversation to evolve further and provide you with the option to ask questions of those leading the fight against climate change.

 

Speaking head of the Food For Thought panel, Ryan Holmes, culinary director, B&I at Compass Group UK & Ireland, said: "I’m looking forward to discussing the key issues we as an industry are facing into. We can only achieve the change we need by sharing ideas and initiatives as we work together towards a common goal."

 

The Caterer editor James Stagg said: "With the United Nations climate change conference COP26 happening in Glasgow next month, all eyes will be on the UK when it comes to sustainability. Changes need to be made across the board from businesses large and small. But how can hospitality – an industry that has been battered by Covid-19 and is only just starting to show signs of recovery – begin to do their bit when it comes to saving the planet?

 

"This summit will aim to break down this massive problem into achievable goals by sharing stories of operators who are already on their journey to net zero. Join us on 21 October, armed with your questions, to learn how to become a sustainable business while still turning a profit."
