Mondra: building a resilient, net zero future for the UK food system
Mondra is proud to be the Drinks Sponsor of the Future of the UK Food System event, supporting the conversations that will shape how our industry navigates both mitigation and adaptation simultaneously.
Businesses are being asked to mitigate emissions while adapting to climate risks already embedded in the system. It’s a challenge that demands urgent, collaborative, and data-driven solutions.
That’s why Mondra is proud to be the Drinks Sponsor of the Future of the UK Food System event, supporting the conversations that will shape how our industry navigates both mitigation and adaptation simultaneously.
Turning climate risk into actionable intelligence
In the programme’s resilience sessions, IGD experts will highlight a stark truth: climate risk is no longer a future scenario, it’s a present reality. Droughts, floods, and geopolitical shocks are already disrupting supply chains, impacting margins, and threatening food security.
Mondra is transforming how businesses respond. Our supply chain intelligence platform enables retailers, suppliers, and brands to measure and reduce the environmental impact of food products at scale. Through Digital Twin technology, Mondra provides actionable insights across:
Life Cycle Assessments (LCA): quantifying the footprint of products with precision
Climatic volatility: modelling the risks of extreme weather events
Regenerative farming practices: assessing where positive interventions can be made
Geopolitical disruptions and global events: mapping how instability impacts supply chains
By making these risks visible, Mondra empowers organisations to act decisively to reduce emissions, strengthen resilience, and protect future growth.
Enabling collaboration and shared standards
One of the key messages at this year’s event is that shared challenges require shared solutions. Mondra exists to make this possible.
Through the BRC Mondra Coalition, we unite the UK’s leading grocers and suppliers behind a common sustainability framework, ensuring data transparency, regulatory alignment, and industry-wide collaboration. This coalition approach is essential for delivering the commitments outlined in IGD’s Net Zero Transition Plan for the UK Food System, ensuring progress isn’t fragmented but collective.
The path to net zero and long-term resilience
As the programme sessions on Climate Risk and the Food System and Delivering Your Transition in Line with UK Net Zero Goals will show, the road ahead is complex but clear:
Science-based targets must guide decarbonisation.
Policy coherence and regulatory clarity are vital to unlock investment.
Transition funding will play a critical role in enabling both suppliers and retailers to adapt.
Mondra’s role is to equip businesses with the tools to succeed in this transition. By turning complexity into clarity and risk into resilience, we help the UK food system move forward together.
A toast to the future
As Drinks Sponsor, Mondra raises a glass to the innovators, leaders, and changemakers driving this transformation. Our mission is simple but urgent: to ensure the UK food system not only survives the challenges ahead, but thrives in a net zero, climate-resilient future.
