In case you missed it, last week we hosted a webinar ‘The Business Case for Company Action in Production Landscapes: Charting the Path Forward’. Hosted in collaboration with Evidensia, the webinar explored the evolving business case for companies to collaborate with other stakeholders to achieve sustainable land use practices at scale in production regions. Speakers from Jerónimo Martins, IDH, and Unilever also shared their experiences and lessons learnt from collaborating with stakeholders at landscape-scale.

The food and beverage industry is experiencing rapid change driven by shifting consumer preferences, emerging technologies, and increasing regulatory demands. These factors present both challenges and opportunities for businesses in the sector. As KPMG's National Agribusiness Practice leader with experience working with agribusinesses, food processors, and manufacturers in the Greater Vancouver Area, I've identified five critical trends shaping the F&B industry. Over the next few weeks, our team of subject matter experts and I will delve into these pivotal trends: 1. How will AI and Innovation revolutionize your business? 2. Are you prepared for your exit strategy? 3. What Government Grants and Incentives are available to support your business? 4. Are you purposefully integrating ESG initiatives into your business strategy? 5. How can you leverage Operational Improvement to enhance financial performance? Stay tuned as we share invaluable insights and strategies to help you adapt to these critical trends and propel your food and beverage business forward.

Re-embedding Purpose Today (April 9th) is the official launch date for my new book, “Beyond Shareholder Primacy,” on Amazon! I’d like to thank Brian Griffith, Executive Chairman of Griffith Foods, for writing the inspiring Foreword to the book.  But more importantly, I’d like to thank him for his transformational leadership of Griffith Foods, a company on the journey to making nutrition, sustainability, and regeneration core to its DNA. Much of the second section of the book, focused on Corporate Transformation, was influenced by my engagement with Griffith over the past seven years to bring their corporate purpose—“we blend care and creativity to nourish the world—to life through core mission and strategy. See especially Chapter 5—Re-embedding Purpose—for how Griffith Foods has gone about differentiating what we call “foundational” sustainability goals from business (enterprise) aspirations and corporate quests. #SustainabilityBusinessStrategy #SustainabilityBusinessBook #GreenerBottomLines #BeyondShareholderPrimacy #ESG #CSR #Sustainability #SustainableCapitalism #SustainabilityLeadership
