Media briefing recordings

In this turbulent and worrying times, we ask ourselves: how will 10 billion people live well within the planetary bounderies by 2025, and what is the role of business in making this possible?​

In this session:

  • Beatrice Conde-Petit, Sustainability Officer at Bühler, will talk about the challenges in balancing food supply and nature, and solutions. 
  • Peter Bakker, president of WBCSD, discuss the importance of sustainability- related practices as business opportunities. 
  • Clara Rowe, Founder of Restor, addresses the impact of restoration and the importance of tracking those initiatives globally. Restoration has the potential to prevent about 60% of expected biodiversity loss, and it could improve food security for over a billion people around the world, according to her.

Over the last 160 years, Bühler supplied equipment and built many plants that are now part of a huge global asset base. These solutions (machines and production lines) have already been running for 5, 10, 20 or more years. One of the biggest lever to achieve Bühler's sustainability targets is to address these existing assets - with traditional and digital services - to become more productive and less energy and carbon intense. In this media briefings, we share this journey, present some of the results and the next steps.
