Hosted for the first time at St James’ Sofitel, Arena’s most recent event centred around arguably the most pressing issue facing the industry and the world at large: how can we all work to create a more sustainable future? With a key insight address from CGA and a dedicated panel discussion from some of the industry’s most senior leaders, it was an event not to be missed and so of course, as the leading foodservice agency, we were there in force.
Here at jellybean, we’re passionate about the environment, and making small, everyday changes that can help make a difference towards fighting climate change.
As time goes on, we are learning more about our earth and our oceans, and how they impact our day-to-day life. It is no longer just about living side by side with planet earth, everything is linked and intertwined. Essentially, we have a symbiotic relationship with nature – something we have been treating as a parasitic relationship. We have been taking more than we can give, and it is time to start giving back. We already know that climate change is a real danger, and that our oceans store large amounts of carbon dioxide – so what steps, however small, can we do as individuals to help?
Last week, Arena, The Hospitality Network held an insightful webinar tackling the importance of sustainability in the workplace. Joined by experts in the field, Dr Emma Keller, Head of Sustainability, Nestlé UK & Ireland; Anne Simonnet, Head of Sustainability & Compliance, Foodbuy UK & Ireland and Peter Statham, Head of Sustainability & Government Relations, Brakes, the panel shared their insider knowledge of where we are today and how to move forward.
