Join us for an inspiring evening exploring what it truly takes to embed sustainability at scale within a major UK food producer. We’re delighted to welcome Lee Sheppard, Director of Corporate Affairs, Policy & Sustainability at Apetito, to share an inside look at the company’s sustainability strategy - from vision to real‑world implementation.

About the talk:

Apetito has become widely recognised for its commitment to reducing environmental impact while delivering nutritious, accessible meals across the UK. In this session, Lee will discuss:

  • apetito’s sustainability strategy - how it was developed and what drives it
  • practical implementation - the initiatives, innovations, and operational changes behind the strategy
  • challenges along the way - what Apetito has learned from navigating barriers, trade‑offs, and unexpected complexities
  • future ambitions - where the organisation is heading next in its sustainability journey

Lee’s perspective offers a rare, candid look at how sustainability principles translate into day‑to‑day decision‑making within a large organisation.

Following the talk, guests are invited to stay for an informal networking session. This is a chance to:

  • continue the conversation with Lee
  • connect with fellow attendees interested in sustainability and responsible business
  • share ideas, experiences, and opportunities for collaboration
