Not just a buzzword: The keys to making sustainability an actualized business practice 2023 | Informa Markets | 27 October 2023 | Mandalay Bay Beach, 3950 S Las Vegas Blvd, Las Vegas, NV 89119, USA

Sustainability is a topic that underlies the future of the supply of dietary ingredients for the supplement industry. The issue presents challenges such as a definitional one: What is meant, exactly, by “sustainability?” But it also encompasses a significant opportunity for companies that get this right, by allowing them to grow a more loyal and motivated consumer base, as well as being able to “do well by doing good.”
Session attendees can expect to learn:
• How best to communicate these ideals to consumers.
• Which aspects of sustainability are most important to consumers.
• Practical ways for companies to implement and measure sustainability programs
