Executive Council – Recipe for growth!

The second Executive Council meeting of this years is about future growth of the food ingredients industry answering to the quest for a greener planet. Where and when does the food industry claims responsibility over its footprint? How to anticipate to scope 1, 2 en 3 CO2 emissions in the supply chain? And how to address the right scope / scale balance ensuring your position in the marketplace 5 years from now meeting those responsabilities? These questions about growth will be addressed in our quest for a greener planet driving change towards a healthier environment and society. Two invited industry leaders will share their vision on future growth and how to strategize this in the years to come.
