Sustainable Food Sector: Regulation, Risk, and Opportunity
Food systems account for one third of global emissions and one fifth of production is wasted. Yet ESG reporting in the food sector goes far beyond compliance. From Europe's CSRD to the US SEC rules, China's mandates, and Australia's standards, regulatory pressure is global. For food companies, the opportunity is now.
“While directly serving their customers, companies should indirectly serve the interests of society by taking responsibility for the holistic impact of their activities. Its simply a more broad view of value creation. This is what ESG is all about.”
