The First 100 Days

This week, Rebecca Tobi, Senior Business and Investor Engagement Manager at the Food Foundation hosts a special panel discussion with four representatives from food businesses and the investment community to discuss what they want and need from the first 100 days of a new government. This is, typically, a really interesting and critical time for new governments to set out their direction of travel when it comes to policy priorities and general intent.Recorded before the General Election, the panel of Richard Hall, Vice President and General Secretary for the UK and Ireland at Danone, James Perry, co-founder and co-chair of Cook, Rachel Crossley, Head of Stewardship in Europe for BNP Paribas Asset Management, and Sophie Lawrence, Stewardship and Engagement Lead at Greenbank discuss how to face a dual public health and climate crises through action on the food system.   For further information, click on the links below:https://foodfoundation.org.uk/news/lobbying-good-food-businesses-and-investors-share-their-vision-better-food-systemhttps://foodfoundation.org.uk/news/lobbying-good-why-we-need-regulation-level-playing-field-food-industryhttps://foodfoundation.org.uk/news/lobbying-good-why-investors-should-be-lobbying-better-food-systemClick here for the Food Foundation's own Manifesto, and here to sign up for the Newsletter.https://foodfoundation.org.uk/publication/nourishing-nation-mandatory-reporting-food-businesses-0https://foodfoundation.org.uk/publication/power-and-accountability-evolving-landscape-corporate-reporting Hosted on Acast.
