Today, both the weather and the political world feel increasingly unpredictable, and when political signals are mixed and economic pressures are mounting, it can be challenging to stay both ambitious and realistic about sustainability. How do we keep building momentum when others are abandoning their ESG agendas, and how do we continue to inspire and support people to stay motivated? Join our Sustainability Advisor, Sarah Duncan, and a panel of passionate industry leaders as they cut through the negative noise and explore practical strategies, bold thinking, and proven actions to help you protect and progress your sustainability ambitions - no matter which way the political winds are blowing.

Labour is the largest cost in most hospitality businesses - and one of the biggest opportunities for improvement. Two areas are reshaping how operators manage it: well‑designed tronc schemes that link performance and pay, and new AI scheduling tools that match staffing to real‑time demand. Together, they can boost efficiency, retention and engagement across teams. In this panel, technology leaders, compliance experts and operators will unpack how both approaches work and what HR, Finance and Ops teams need to know to implement them effectively, from tronc design and compliance to AI‑driven planning, reduced admin and smarter, fairer labour deployment.
