About us
Innovation Forum is an independent London-based company with decades of collective experience in sustainability events and publishing. As a platform for change, our mission is to help make sustainability mainstream in business. We do this through online publishing, stakeholder engagement projects, and industry leading business conferences that address the biggest challenges in sustainability. Our debate-driven, focused events address challenges in food systems, business and human rights, plastics and packaging, sustainable apparel and climate action. We work with organisations such as IDH – The Sustainable Trade Initiative, Textile Exchange, Cargill, Everland and Cotton Connect, to deliver these events collaboratively. We also work with clients to deliver bespoke stakeholder engagement, research and sustainability communications services. Our dedicated Stakeholder Engagement team has worked with partners such Nestlé, Bayer, BSI, Tesco, WWF and Wallgreens Boots Alliance. Because we have the reach, the expertise, and the focus to deliver independent, structured support, our partners trust us to deliver key insights in these areas. We’ve worked in areas ranging from regenerative agriculture and farmer livelihoods, to packaging strategies and the future of insect protein. We support our work with online publishing, analysis and research on the topics we know are essential for business innovation. Our network is kept up to date with IF’s work, and the world of sustainable business, with our weekly podcast and newsletter.

There's nothing better than learning from experts who are passionate about their work. Thanks to Tahirah King, MBA, PMP from Mars Pet Nutrition, Sergio M Perelman from Ferrero and Innovation Forum's Ian Welsh for such an informative and engaging discussion. It was great to hear about their internal packaging initiatives and how they balance the need for performance, safety, impact and cost when making these decisions. I also loved hearing about the packaging innovations that currently excite them, as well as about the power of collective action. To quote Tahirah King, MBA, PMP, "It's not a me problem, it's an us opportunity." You can listen to the webinar recording here: https://lnkd.in/ef_t_tbd If you enjoyed this discussion, join us later this month in Philadelphia for our Sustainable Packaging Innovation Forum (29-30 Oct).
