What do businesses need to know about energy and why does it matter now? How are food, agribusiness and hospitality sectors uniquely exposed?

Over the coming months, energy will remain a critical pressure point for many businesses, with ongoing price volatility, supply considerations and the accelerating transition to more sustainable energy models. For businesses in the food, agribusiness and hospitality sectors, energy is not just an overhead - it is fundamental to operations, from production and storage through to distribution and customer experience.

These challenges raise important questions for a sector already managing tight margins, cost inflation and complex supply chains. Many businesses are also grappling with how to balance immediate cost pressures with longer‑term decisions around energy efficiency, infrastructure and sustainability commitments.

In our next breakfast briefing, we will explore what these issues mean in practice. We will look at how energy risk is evolving, where the key pressure points lie for food manufacturing and hospitality businesses in particular, and what practical steps organisations should be considering now. Along with how food and agri business can communicate how these fit with existing sustainability commitments.

We will be joined by Callum Ross, who will share his insights into the energy sector and explain why it is so crucial across all industries. He will also focus on the specific implications for agri‑food and hospitality businesses, helping you to understand both the risks and the opportunities in an increasingly complex energy landscape.
