Food and agribusiness AM

In this breakfast briefing, we explore what these issues mean in practice. We 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.

Over the coming months, employers in the food, agribusiness and hospitality sectors will see a wave of employment law changes that particularly affect businesses relying on seasonal, agency or zero‑hours workers. During this breakfast briefing, we will look at what these immediate changes mean in practice. We also consider the further reforms on the horizon, including predictable‑hours rights, compulsory equality action planning etc.
