The Future of Food and Beverage USA

Strategic innovation: A framework for prioritizing sustainability within R&D strategy

16:10 - 16:40
To transition to a sustainable food system, brands must prioritize sustainability within R&D. It can’t just be a box-ticking exercise. It must be embraced as a legitimate component of business strategy. 

In this session, our expert speakers will reflect on how their businesses were able to establish a framework for sustainable innovation. By reflecting on their own experiences, they’ll discuss how to legitimatise and standardise sustainability goals within R&D and across wider brand strategy.
