HRC Connects, the digital platform for Hotel, Restaurant & Catering, has unveiled its upcoming autumn online content programme, with a focus on sustainability, staffing and the future of hospitality.The HRC Connects platform was launched in early 2020 as a new resource for the foodservice and hospitality industry. In addition to providing the buyers who attend Hotel, Restaurant & Catering with a convenient, searchable database of key industry suppliers, the platform also hosts year-round thought leadership content such as webinars, articles, reports and more.
September’s seminar programme kicks off with ‘Disrupting the status quo to achieve a truly sustainable future’ on 9 September at 11am, with Neil Shackleton of Medoola and David Newman of the Bio-Based and Biodegradable Industries Association. The session will be exploring the innovation contributing to the circular economy and looking at how the food and drink sector can contribute to a sustainable post-pandemic world.

This session will evaluate the road to this ambitious target and explain what changes hospitality businesses need to make right now to meet future sustainability goals.
Caillouette-Noble commented: “We are very keen to host conversations and bring people together to help them to share ideas, find solutions and collaborate on meeting the long-term challenges of climate change, diversity and how we use food as a force for good.”
