About the event

This event, organized by the TITAN EU Project, is dedicated to exploring how the European Union's Green Deal initiatives can create competitive advantages within the food sector through enhanced digital transparency across value chains.

As the EU strives to become the first climate-neutral continent by 2050,  the European Commission has introduced groundbreaking directives under the EU Green Deal, including the Corporate Sustainability Due Diligence Directive (CSDDD), the Corporate Sustainability Reporting Directive (CSRD), the EU Deforestation Regulation (EUDR), the Nature Restoration Regulation and the Sustainable Finance Disclosure Regulation. This legislative framework provides a fertile ground for improving accountability in supply chains and inspiring sustainable business practices as the new normal on both European and global scale.

Representatives from public institutions, international organizations, trade associations, and companies will gather to examine best practices, identify the key challenges for transparency creation and potential gaps within the regulatory framework, and develop actionable recommendations for the food system.
