The United Nations Food Systems Summit in September 2021, aims to unleash ambitious new actions and innovative solutions from key players across all stakeholder backgrounds. To transform our food systems and leverage shifts to deliver progress across all the 17 Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). In the lead up to this historic event, the World Benchmarking Alliance (WBA) works with the UN Food Systems Summit Secretariat to ensure we collaboratively guide companies on sustainable business practices across the whole food systems transformation agenda.
Companies’ CEOs or C-level suite executives are invited to learn more about:
