The Future of Wine Forum: What the wine industry can learn about sustainability from other industries

The Future of Wine Forum, 26-27 November 2020

Bubbles and silos exist everywhere in business. Ask a palm oil expert about cotton, and they most likely won’t know much. Wine is no exception and much can be learned from other industries. Many of these have been heavily exposed to negative campaigning, consumer pressure, and legal and regulatory pressures, often as a result. So which lessons can the wine sector learn about sustainability from other industries? Our panel of non wine but very much sustainability experts, debate.

Speakers:

•  Dr. Simon Lord, independent palm oil and sustainability expert
• Anna Turrell, head of environment, Tesco
• Gordon Muir, head of sales, Gordon and Macphail Whisky & Premium Spirit Merchants
• Ignacio Gavilan, director, environmental sustainability, Consumer Goods Forum
• Bastien Sachet, CEO, Earthworm Foundation

Moderator:

• Ian Welsh, editorial director, Innovation Forum
