It is now universally accepted that climate change presents a clear and present danger to all businesses. For the food and beverage industry, the risk impact is not only related to business continuity but also the unspoken responsibility to produce safe food. In this webinar, our expert panel will examine the "new" climate-related risks to food safety and explore the critical responses required to resulting sourcing/supply challenges.

The webinar will pose key questions to our experts including:

What are the emerging food safety risks presented by climate change-related events?
How has climate change impacted your sourcing and supply quality risk landscape?
What changes have you made to your FSQ supplier due diligence programs to ensure the safe, quality supply of materials?
