Let’s go green!

Alternative-protein opportunities and the impact of the EU’s Green Deal on foodservice operations

Wednesday, August, 24 | 2 pm to 3 pm CET

This event will take place in English.

This digital talk is presented to you by:

EUROPEAN GREEN DEAL

Striving to make Europe the first climate-neutral continent, the European Union has issued the European Green Deal. Aiming to overcome climate change and environmental degradation, major legislative initiatives are to transform the EU into a resource-efficient and competitive economy while ensuring zero net emissions of greenhouse gases by 2050 along with economic growth decoupled from resource use.

What impact will these initiatives have on restaurant operations?

“A huge one,” says Arnaud Dufour, Secretary General of Serving Europe, Branded Food and Beverage Service Chains Association.

In this Digital Talk, he will give a general overview of the EU’s Green Deal and Farm to Fork Strategy and lay out which future initiatives will be critical for the restaurant industry and how foodservice operations should prepare for them.

ALTERNATIVE PROTEIN

With regard to more sustainable operations, but also in view of growing guest demand, restaurateurs are increasingly looking at alternative proteins. The Good Food Institute (gfi) is a nonprofit working internationally with businesses, policy makers, scientists and researchers to create a world where alternative proteins are no longer alternative.

„The possibilities of alternative proteins go far beyond plant-based burgers,“ says Carlotte Lucas, Corporate Engagement Manager at the gfi.

In her presentation, she will share insights into what consumers – both vegans and flexitarians – are missing on menus and what it takes in terms of marketing and messaging to drive sales and consumer acceptance of animal-free products.

Sie erfahren im Digital Talk:

  • Wie verankert man Nachhaltigkeit in seiner Strategie?
  • Wie behält man die Anforderungen der Gen Z für sich im Blick?
  • Wie sieht eine konsequente Umsetzung in der Unternehmens- und Markenstrategie aus?
  • Wie schafft man Kaufanreize für die jüngere Zielgruppe?
