Our annual Environmental Sustainability Seminar is back for its fifth year, bringing together leaders across hospitality to explore this year’s theme:
The cost of doing nothing: turning sustainability into savings
In the hospitality sector, recent times have shown us that sustainability must now translate to lower operating costs as a means of future-proofing your business both environmentally and commercially. This event will explore how hospitality is continuing to meet its environmental goals and how this can lead to cost savings and future growth. Bringing together policy makers, operators and industry experts, the programme will showcase practical examples of businesses already taking action across energy, packaging and food.

Agenda
As energy continues to impact every aspect of our businesses, there has never been a more important time to discuss how improving energy efficiency can also deliver financial savings. This theme will underpin the session, with renewables, emissions reduction and energy procurement forming the key focus of the discussion.
With packaging continuing to be a hot topic, we will discuss how hospitality businesses are preparing for the incoming Deposit Return Scheme, what this will mean for business operations, and how it will change the way we recycle. We will also draw on international examples to explore the lessons UK businesses can learn from markets where similar schemes are already in place.
How and what we eat has never been under more scrutiny than it is today. As a result, the food system has had to adapt across the entire supply chain – from farming and sourcing to what we put on our menus and how we manage food waste. In this session, we will hear how businesses are navigating this ever-evolving landscape and share practical examples of how hospitality businesses can become more resilient and sustainable.
