Each year, an estimated one-third of all food produced globally is lost or wasted, impacting not only businesses but also the environment and communities.
This essential webinar, hosted by BSI, will explore how organizations across the food sector can take meaningful steps toward managing and reducing food loss and waste. We’ll examine the progress already made, hear from an industry voice actively working on these challenges, and introduce ISO 20001 - the new international standard designed to support organizations in this effort. This is also an opportunity for participants to shape the final version of the standard through public consultation.
Discover how addressing food waste can revolutionize your business operations and support a sustainable future.
What you'll learn:
- Why food loss and waste matter and the risks of inaction.
- How organizations across the food value chain are tackling the issue.
- A first look at ISO 20001: What it is and how it can help.
- How to get involved in the public consultation and influence the standard.
- The role of standards and national standards bodies in shaping a better future.
