@ 29 Mar 2019
Sustainability Forum
Where?
SIM Professional Development, 41 Namly Avenue, Singapore 267616
When?
9th April 2019
What?
The Sustainability Forum will be discussing a few pertinent issues that concern the Food and Beverage (F&B) industry, and inviting several panellists to discuss the topics on responsible food sourcing, innovative designs for renewable, biodegradable items, and the importance of changing mindsets and leadership to move towards a more digitalised future.
Panellists will include Ms Sheryl Torres-Wu of the Marine Stewardship Council; Mr Kenny Eng, Former President – Kranji Countryside Association; Ms Dalilah Ghazalay, Regional Director of the U.S. Dairy Export Council; Ms Nina Tan, Managing Director of Business Intelligence and 8nalytics Pte Ltd; Mr Peter Knipp, CEO of Peter Knipp Holdings Pte Ltd; Mr Roderic Pronieski, Wine Specialist from the Asia Wine Network; Jeffrey Soh of Fabristeel, Zuraimi Jumaat, Executive Director of Pure and Good Management Pte Ltd.; and Chef Oliver Truesdale - Jutras of Open Farm Community
Why?
The topics that will be discussed are pertinent to the F&B industry: the last few years we have been moving towards a more eco-friendly basis, and we’re seeing more restaurants and chefs take on that gauntlet. However, more can be done. Attendees of the event will be hearing from experts in their fields who will be using their own experience and expertise to showcase different perspectives on the issues mentioned.
