How can food manufacturers save cash and the planet?

The cost of commodities, including utilities, continues to rocket, food inflation is soaring, squeezing margins and affecting all areas of finances and operations and the situation looks set to continue well into 2022.

As a result, food and drink manufacturers face severe pressure to deliver savings. The intensive focus on reducing the supply chain’s impact on climate change is further increasing that pressure.

Fortunately, reducing operations costs, boosting efficiency and saving the climate often go hand-in-hand. So how can number crunching and cost reduction save the planet? Have the easy wins all been considered? What sort of benefits can they really deliver and are they worth the effort? And is tackling a major project more trouble than it’s worth?

A team of experts will help you to weigh up the options in a webinar sponsored by ESB Energy aimed at board directors and heads of finance, operations and sustainability and running from 3-4pm UK time on 19 January 2022. Register now to take part on the day for free​.
