As cost pressures continue to mount across hospitality, sustainability can often fall into the “nice to have” category – yet long-term business resilience depends on it. The Caterer’s Sustainability Summit 2025 aims to tackle the key question: how can leaders champion meaningful environmental change when every penny counts?
In this webinar, hospitality leaders will explore how to embed sustainable practices into business strategy while dealing with rising operational costs, recruitment pressures and shifting guest expectations.

In the Sustainability Summit, you will learn:
- How to prioritise initiatives when money and time are limited
- How to gain buy-in from owners and senior teams

Sustainability is no longer a side issue – it’s a leadership imperative. In this session, we explore how hospitality leaders can set the tone from the top, championing environmental responsibility as a driver of resilience, innovation and long-term value. Discover how clear vision, confident decision-making and visible leadership can embed sustainability into the core of business strategy.
Turning sustainability from a background concern into a business priority is no small feat. This session explores how a hospitality business moved from intention to impact, even when faced with operational pressures and limited resources.
From building internal buy-in and identifying early wins to aligning environmental goals with commercial strategy, learn how sustainability can become a core driver of progress, rather than a competing priority.
How do hospitality leaders drive meaningful sustainability action when facing relentless cost, staffing, and operational pressures?
This cross-sector panel brings together business leaders from hotels, restaurants, pubs, bars, and foodservice to explore how sustainability can remain a strategic priority – even when resources are tight. From gaining buy-in at board level and prioritising practical initiatives, to engaging employees and avoiding greenwash, our panellists will share the real-world challenges they’ve faced and the solutions that are working.
