Food processing companies will be recognized for their sustainability initiatives November 4, 2010 at Pearson Convention Centre, Brampton

Mark your calendars for Canada’s premiere sustainability event for the food and beverage processing industry. On November 4, 2010, companies from across Canada will gather to recognize excellence in sustainability with a banquet and gala evening, Raising the Bar: Recognition of Excellence in Food and Beverage Sustainability.

Forward-thinking companies who have shown leadership, corporate responsibility and a vision for profitability through efficiency will be at the Pearson Convention Centre in Brampton, Ontario for this recognition and gala event.

Raising the Bar is a project that will increase understanding of current sustainability initiatives in Ontario’s food and beverage processing industry and is creating a knowledge base for companies to build sustainability into their operations. Companies across North America have participated in the study and those that have shown the greatest vision and ingenuity in sustainability will be recognized on November 4th at the gala. Key learnings from the Raising the Bar project and a keynote address will also be part of the festivities.
