The line-up of expert discussion panellists for D&I in Grocery LIVE! – the largest diversity and inclusion (D&I) event in the grocery sector – has been unveiled.
The event, which takes place on 4 October in London’s InterContinental at the O2, will see renowned journalist Clive Myrie kick off an expert panel discussion titled ‘Pathways to Progress: How to leverage D&I to future-proof our industry’.
The debate will explore how inclusive practices can help multi-generational workforces future-proof the grocery industry.
Panellists include Tesco chief people officer Emma Taylor, who has been responsible for setting the people strategy and plans at Britain’s biggest supermarket, as well as Zahoor Ahmad, Head of Social Mobility, Inclusion and Belonging at Co-op, Procter & Gamble’s (P&G) Northern Europe Sales Function head Ian Morley, and Siwan Smith, Inclusion & Diversity Manager at Princes Group.
For the first time, the event will also include new Topic Hacks sessions. Bringing together a broad range of perspectives, skill sets and experiences, these high-energy sessions offer an innovative and collaborative approach to tackling key issues impacting D&I in the grocery sector.
Topics will be dissected to find workable realistic solutions and all attendees are invited to get involved.
Daniele Fiandaca, one of the UK’s Top 50 Trailblazers in Gender Equality, along with Clare Bocking, a change consultant renowned for accelerating performance through culture and talent, will facilitate the creative problem-solving sessions and encourage new ways of thinking.
Caroline Cater, VP of People and Culture at Coca-Cola Europacific Partners & D&I in Grocery LIVE! Steering Group Chair, said: “Everybody has a role to play in diversity and inclusion.
