Sustainability drivers for ingredients suppliers

Two food industry executives discuss the importance of people, planet and profits, the need to keep and eye on energy use and emissions, and how to ensure long term security of food supply.

For Alex Filz, head of communications at DSM Nutritional Products, it is important for food companies to get the balance right between people, planet and profit. Not only are sustainability issues close to their hearts, but they make for a good business opportunity too.

Harold Poelma, managing director of Cargill Cocoa, emphasises the need for long-term security of food supply – that is, ensuring sufficient, affordable and safe food for all people, all over the world.
