With growing expectations from regulators, investors and stakeholders, this session will explore how food retailers are using frameworks such as TNFD and TCFD, where the challenges lie, and how we can work together at an industry level to drive meaningful progress.

This workshop brings together sustainability leads to share experiences, map what information is being requested, and discuss how we can collectively address barriers, particularly around supply chain engagement and governance.
