Why does social sustainability matter in the F&B industry and why should it be an integral part of your sustainability planning? Restaurants form a key part of the social and economic fabric of a community, therefore operators have both an opportunity and a responsibility to have a positive impact. Our panel highlighted why the 'S' in ESG is particularly important for an industry built on social interaction and explored some of the ways in which conscious, deliberate social sustainability policies can have a positive impact on your business.
