Created in partnership with Innovation Forum, this event is designed for all stakeholders in the sugar value chain to discuss the commercial opportunities of implementing sustainability and ethical initiatives, and the practicalities of how to make them successful.
The conference offers the opportunity for a diverse group of stakeholders to discuss and debate the key issues facing the industry, through an interactive, engaging and practical format.
2017 conference
The conference will be the leading gathering of individuals, companies and organisations driving sustainability within the global sugar industry.
The forum will provide delegates with:
- A holistic view of the state of the sugar industry, and the actions needed to drive sustainable, systemic and positive progress
- Clear guidelines around how companies (from buyers to traders to producers) can together develop and implement sustainable sugar strategies throughout the supply chain
Some of the key themes and issues the 2017 agenda will address include:
- Transparency and traceability – how to understand your value chain through mapping to analyse where the risks and opportunities are
- Human rights due diligence – how to implement programmes for continuous improvement, remove human rights risks and infringements on land rights, and eliminate child and forced labour
- Smallholder farmers and producer community development – understand the best practices that improve productivity and yield, and benefit the livelihoods of smallholders
- Environmental pressures and resilience – hear the latest initiatives on how to proactively prepare sugar production for the future and issues such as loss of biodiversity, climate change and water scarcity
