What is in this report?
- Summary assessment of the 2020 dashboard and the role of UK-operating supermarkets, caterers and restaurants in a transition to healthy, just and sustainable food systems.
- Assessment of the impact COVID-19 is having on these sectors, and whether this is favouring companies with more ambitious goals in this transition.
- Proposal of four key enablers for change that need to happen to ensure that an economic recovery from COVID-19 does not come at the expense of an acceleration of this transition.
Alongside the report, we held a webinar discussion on what businesses, investors and policy experts have to say on how we can accelerate change during and post-pandemic.
