IGD NET ZERO FOR COMMERCIAL LEADERS LEARNING PROGRAMME

Members may be interested in IGD’s Net Zero for Commercial Leaders learning programme that provides a high‑level overview of net zero from a food system and business perspective. The programme starts on 4th September.

As you’ll be aware, climate change is reshaping commercial reality – understanding net zero is essential to business resilience, security of supply and long-term growth.

The programme moves away from the technicalities and details of net zero. Instead it offers a high-level understanding of why net zero matters and links to everyday commercial decision making across the food system.

The course is free and takes just 11 hours to complete, including a farm visit, where participants will be able to learn ‘on the ground’, hear from expert speakers and network with fellow commercial leaders.

In brief, the programme:

  • Is aimed at senior commercial leaders across the food system
  • Provides a high‑level introduction to net zero and why it matters for commercial decisions
  • Combines a practical farm visit including expert speaker sessions, short self‑paced online modules and three live webinars
  • Starts with the farm visit on 4th September and runs over six weeks

Further detail on the content and structure can be found here

The programme is designed to be accessible and lighttouch, and would be useful background for Director colleagues in commercial, category, sales, trading or procurement roles.

Places are limited, so we’d encourage you to register your interest as soon as possible using this short form.
