From Compliance Deadlines to Competitive Advantage in the Food & Beverage Industry

For senior EHS leaders in food and beverage, 2026 brings heightened regulatory scrutiny, persistent worker safety risk, and growing expectations for transparency, consistency, and control across operations.

Legislative change, multi‑site complexity, and ongoing injury exposure are placing new demands on EHS functions that are often still supported by fragmented systems and manual processes.

This Think Tank is designed for EHS VPs and senior safety leaders who want to understand how technology is being used across the sector to strengthen oversight, improve decision‑making, and move from reactive compliance toward proactive risk management and operational resilience.

Discussion

Topics

Regulatory pressure and EHS accountability: How new and evolving regulations are increasing EHS oversight requirements, and how leaders are maintaining confidence in compliance, evidence, and reporting across multiple sites.

Controlling risk in high‑hazard food manufacturing environments: Persistent causes of serious injuries in food and beverage operations, what data is telling EHS leaders today, and where prevention efforts are falling short.

Incident, near‑miss, and investigation effectiveness: How organisations are improving the quality, consistency, and follow‑through of incident reporting and investigations to prevent repeat events.

EHS visibility at scale: Challenges of managing safety performance across geographically distributed sites, contractors, and operations, and how technology helps surface trends and risk hotspots earlier.

Building a resilient, future‑ready EHS function: What senior EHS leaders are prioritising to stay ahead of regulatory change, reduce operational disruption, and demonstrate measurable safety performance improvement.
