Many European buyers are discussing sustainability. And many exporters are looking for ways to respond to this market demand. But what do buyers want exactly? At the moment, there is no single standard you must meet. And the definition of 'sustainability' is still under debate. But generally, for European buyers, sustainability has 2 components. These are environmental sustainability and social sustainability. CBI's market intelligence on sustainability in natural food additives addresses these components in the studies '9 Tips to go green' and '9 Tips to become more socially responsible'.

During this webinar, we will discuss the most important aspects of sustainability for European companies in the natural food additive sector. For each point, we will provide tips on how to respond as an exporter. We will address the following topics:

  • How to transition to a green business by implementing sustainability practices at the production level, during processing, and in logistics and packaging.
  • How to improve your commitment to social responsibility in your supply chain. And how to benefit from this.

 

For whom?

The webinar is for entrepreneurs and business support organisations active in the natural ingredients sector.
