An interesting opportunity to hear from Kai Commitment and Argon & Co as they share the findings from the New Zealand Business Food Waste Survey, the clearest picture yet of how food businesses across Aotearoa are managing food waste.

The results show that while many organisations are already seeing benefits, including cost savings and reduced environmental impact, most are not yet capturing the full commercial opportunity.

In this online event information will be presented on

• where businesses are currently losing value
• most common drivers of food waste
• where biggest opportunities sit to improve performance and reduce costs

Ian Walsh, (Partner at Argon & Co, global leader in business transformation and operational excellence), Ian will share practical insights on how businesses can act on the findings and embed best practice.

Discover new products and services, network with exhibitors, connect with decision makers and gain market insights from industry experts at Fine Food New Zealand. Whether you’re an owner-operator or a large organisation, this event will provide you with the tools you need to stay ahead of the competition.
