556: Emissions targets - whose targets are they?

The whole of the food industry is affected by science-based targets on sustainability - but whose targets are they?

Are we aiming to satisfy consumer demand, the wants and needs of investors, or is the industry simply following what regulators say needs to be done?

In this episode of the Food Matters Live podcast, recorded at our event in Manchester in November 2024, our expert panel offer their views on who is driving the push for sustainability.

The discussion also delves into the challenges of data integrity, the significance of Scope 3 emissions, and the need for supplier engagement.

They delve into the evolving landscape of sustainability within organisations, focusing on carbon literacy, fish stock management, climate disclosures, and the integration of science-based targets.
