“What food companies sell and how they are marketed, are competitive issues, but how sustainable it is produced, is a pre-competitive issue” – Dr. Jason Clay, WWF and member of SAI Platform Advisory Council

Starting in November, SAI Platform is exclusively offering our members - SUSTAINIBBLES - a series of 30 minute monthly webinars. Each month a different member will tell us about their sustainability programme across a variety of topics, commodities and regions. We will hear first-hand about real challenges, opportunities and lessons learnt.
