Speakers at the event will include European commissioner Janez Potocnik; Ladislav Miko, deputy director general of the EC; Tim Lang, professor of food policy at City University; Hans Hoogeveen, director general at EL&I; Thomas Jelley, corporate citizenship manager at Sodexo; Ian Booth, technical director at Reynolds; and Asda's corporate sustainability manager Sarah Belmont.
The conference takes place at Europe House, London on 7 November.
