The Swedish Chamber Annual Sustainability Breakfast is an exclusive event for business leaders, entrepreneurs, policymakers, and academics from Sweden and the Netherlands and serves as a dynamic platform for discussing sustainable business practices, corporate social responsibility, and environmental leadership. Designed to foster open dialogue and collaboration, the format encourages knowledge-sharing, innovation, and meaningful connections to pursue a more sustainable future.
We are proud to present our keynote speaker, Eija Hietavuo, Chief Corporate Affairs Officer at Tetra Pak, who will, in celebration of the company’s 70 tears presence in the Netherlands, discuss how Tetra Pak aims to “protect what’s good” through sustainable packaging innovation and advanced manufacturing solutions that contribute to the transformation.
Reducing food waste and building resilient, sustainable food systems requires more than incremental change—it calls for innovation in how we produce, process, package, and protect food. Tetra Pak has long been committed to enabling change within the ‘hidden middle’ of agrifood value chains with solutions that help reduce climate impact and resource needs, extend the shelf life of perishable foods, protect food and avoid waste along the chain.
