Industry ESG Forum

Currently, sustainable development and ESG (Environmental, Social, and Corporate Governance) have become key topics for both countries and enterprises. The F&B industry encompasses multiple stages such as raw materials, production and processing, packaging and transportation, terminal consumption, etc., and has a profound impact on the ecological environment. Data shows that the agri-food system consumes approximately 70% of the world's freshwater resources, contributes one-third of global greenhouse gas emissions, generates over 50% of plastic waste, and experiences significant food losses - about 14% during production, 31% throughout the supply chain, and 17% at the retail and food service stages. Therefore, the sustainable development of the F&B industry has become a global consensus and social focus area. F&B enterprises urgently need to explore new ways to achieve ESG development.
