“At last we have an in-person event where the path to a sustainable drinks industry is the primary focus. The rapid changes in the climate system taking place in our lifetimes demand a collaborative pragmatic approach and the SID event brings together many experienced and influential voices. The value for me is in listening to people who are learning to articulate their achievements and communicate them back to their customers in a way that is relevant to the broader societal conversation on sustainability.” Nick Breeze, climate journalist and moderator of the High Level Panel debate at SID 2025.
We look forward to seeing you there!
