UNFI Climate Summit
While the case for climate action is clear, execution depends on how effectively it connects to commercial priorities. This session bridges that gap by connecting climate ambition to real purchasing and merchandising decisions across the food and agriculture value chain.
Hosted by UNFI – North America’s premier grocery distributor of natural, organic, and specialty foods – this summit blends insights from speakers and attendees alike with structured table discussions between CPG and food retail partners.
Featured perspectives from across the food value chain include:
Dan Epley, Senior Vice President, Center Store Merchandising, Whole Foods Market/Amazon
Manuel Gorrin, Director of Mission and JEDI, Nature's Path Foods
Amy Skoczlas Cole, Executive Director, NYU Stern Center for Sustainable Business
Jason Stein, Director of Category Management, National Co+op Grocers
Together, participants will explore what resonates with commercial teams, where friction exists, and how to better align sustainability with growth objectives. A regenerative lunch with dedicated networking time will create space for meaningful connection and collaboration among sustainability and commercial leaders.
The result: clearer pathways to make climate action practical, relevant, and competitive in today’s marketplace.
