Marks & Spencer
Leadership of the Future – supply chain sustainability
Mobilising Marks & Spencer’s food suppliers to take action on sustainability through a strategic event, films and supplier leadership awards.
The project
The project: “Leadership of the Future” – mobilising Marks and Spencer’s food suppliers to take action on sustainability.
Based in the Foods Plan A team, this project included the design and project management of a strategic future trends event, working closely with senior leaders in the food business. To support content development, a series of sustainability films were produced, covering themes including the future of the food industry and the changing social landscape. A Plan A Awards process recognising sustainability leadership from within the supply base was delivered with over 50 suppliers applying, and the 6 winners announced at the event.
The impact
Over 500 guests attended ‘Leadership of the Future’, representing more than 200 of Marks and Spencer’s most valued food suppliers. Evaluation found that 96% of suppliers came away ‘inspired’ and with a clear understanding of what action they need to take on sustainability. Marks and Spencer is rolling out the event content to its global supply base.
