Panel Discussion: Meet & Exceed Your ESG Goals
in a Resource Constrained Environment
These expert panelists discuss how to maintain and expand ESG commitments while COVID-19 continues to disrupt both the supply chain and the foodservice labor market. How can operators honor sustainability, local and regional sourcing of ingredients, compliance with regulations, and common-sense practices, while maintaining economic viability?
Join them to learn and discuss:
1. Common sense strategies to achieve meaningful, measurable ESG
goals – how to reasonably prioritize sustainability initiatives that fit your business (i.e. plant based, low carbon, local, food waste, small- holder farmer initiatives, etc.)
2. Using menu mix to ‘right-size’ solutions in line with your diners’ and clients’ priorities and influence broader ESG impact – evaluate opportunities for featuring high quality products on your menus that maximize consumer visibility and engagement, and are scale- appropriate, authentic, and relevant to sustainability goals.
3. Alleviating the pain of labor shortages – assess the role that value- added products can play while maintaining commitment to both quality and ESG goals.
4. How to operationalize and systematize solutions – evaluate and implement multi-stakeholder relationships and partnerships that empower your staff and constituents and remain open to new opportunities and methodologies.
