The Food & Drink Business Podcast Episode 4: Sharon Natoli maps Top 100 against UN SDGs
Food & Drink Business editor Kim Berry talks to author, speaker and founder of Food & Nutrition Australia Sharon Natoli about her project of mapping Australia’s Top 100 Australian Food & Beverage companies against the UN’s Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs).
The discussion starts with a review of what the 17 SDGs are and what lead to their establishment in 2015. We then look at the specific goals most suitable for food and beverage producers, which leads into a discussion of larger businesses working with smaller innovators and investors funding start-ups to improve processes locally and globally.
Sharon explains the methodology used to assess the Top 100 against the SDGs and identifies those that have the best alignment. We also discuss how measuring performance with the SDGs can benefit market leadership and the importance of authenticity in today’s market.
We wrap up the episode by reviewing the overall results, opportunities for future reviews and the benefits companies can achieve through integrated alignment to the UN’s SDGs.
