In early June, the City of Stockholm and the World Wide Fund for Nature (WWF) organised a summit in conjunction with the UN Stockholm+50 international conference, a high-level meeting to which all UN member states wereinvited to discuss how to accelerate the transition to a more sustainable future.

Sodexo CEO Peter Mellin was invited to a panel discussion to discuss what we and other meal providers can do to support the transition to more sustainable diets.

“It was an honour to be involved in talking about solutions to one of the world’s most important sustainability issues. I highlighted specific progress that Sodexo has already made, and also talked about the importance of collaboration to achieve climate goals.Achange in food culture is needed in Sweden and many other countries, so how do we achieve that?”

The panel discussions included mayors from a dozen or so international cities and business leaders from world-leading companies in various industries. Participants included Johan Rockström, who heads one of the world’s leading centres for climate and sustainability research.

The event was part ofAppetites for Change, a one-day conference focusing on the transition to sustainable consumption and production in food and meals. It took the form of a hybrid meeting organised by the City of Stockholm, WWF’s Food Practice in cooperation with One Planet Network, WWF Sweden and associated partners.
