This month will see a range of industry leading titles, including FoodNavigator, The Morning Advertiser, and Food Manufacture participating in a joint sustainability project.
William Reed’s ‘Sustainable September’ project will see these media powerhouses highlighting both the progress and pressures facing the food and drink sector in an effort to help the food and drink industry accelerate meaningful progress.
Readers can expect to see a range of sustainability-focused content, including Food Manufacture’s upcoming Sustainability Report and FoodNavigator’s revamped, global Climate Smart Food broadcast series, among others.
Sustainable September kicks off with the launch of a global, anonymous pulse check poll.
The survey, which is an anonymous, is a global poll developed to help the sector understand how FMCGS, ingredients suppliers, retailers, start-ups and supporting businesses are responding to the climate crisis.
Participants of the poll will be helping to not only build a snapshot of industry sentiment and challenges around sustainability, but they will also be making a physical and positive impact on the environment with every William Reed donating £1 to Farm Africa for every completed poll (up to £1,000).
Farm African is a charity that helps eastern African support farmers to grow more, sell more and protect their environment.
Commenting on the project, Global Brands editor-in-chief, Jess Spiring, said: “Sustainability September is about sparking honest conversations and showcasing real solutions. We want to hear directly from the industry – what’s working, what’s not and where we go next. Together, we can shape a more climate-smart future for food.”
