Event overview
UK grocery retailers are placing increasing weight on sustainability and ESG credentials when making buying decisions. To help New Zealand food and beverage exporters succeed in this environment, NZTE have completed a targeted UK sustainability campaign and in‑depth research with ESG leaders and buyers at major UK supermarkets.
This webinar will share what that research reveals and how you can use it to support your commercial conversations with UK grocery stakeholders.
We will be joined by Sarah Smart, former CEO for The Collective, who will help you understand what the insights mean for you and the practical steps you should take.
There will be an opportunity for Q&A during the session.
