Dozens of international media titles across William Reed publishing are joining forces to raise the profile, positives and also the pressures of green thinking within the global food and drink sector. Starting with the launch of a global, anonymous pulse check poll , Sustainable September is set to both celebrate and challenge the sector that feeds the world to become more sustainable. From industry leading titles including The Morning Advertiser, Food Manufacture and FoodNavigator, the powerhouse of expert media brands will be spotlighting innovations, strategies and collaborations that could help the industry accelerate meaningful progress. Central to Sustainable September is FoodNavigator’s revamped, global Climate Smart Food broadcast series, which includes three episodes that will air on September 9, 16 and 23. They’ll also be available to watch on-demand. The month will culminate with the results of the Sustainability September survey, which is an anonymous, global poll developed to help the sector understand how FMCGS, ingredients suppliers, retailers, start-ups and supporting businesses are responding to the climate crisis. Participants of the poll will be helping to not only build a snapshot of industry sentiment and challenges around sustainability, but they will also be making a physical and positive impact on the environment. That’s because, with every poll complete (up to 1,000), William Reed will donate £1 to Farm Africa , the charity that helps eastern African support farmers to grow more, sell more and protect their environment. Global Brands editor-in-chief Jess Spiring said: “Sustainable September is about sparking honest conversations and showcasing real solutions. We want to hear directly from the industry – what’s working, what’s not and where we go next. Together, we can shape a more climate-smart future for food.” Meanwhile, the free-to-attend Climate Smart Food broadcast will air later in September , featuring some of the world’s biggest food and drink brands, including Kraft Heinz, Nestlé and Heineken. Three big themes will be delved into over the course three episodes, covering smart farming, circular processing and packaging & labelling.
