The SIQO sector is facing a number of challenges: volatile markets, ever-increasing climate change, shifting societal expectations... Ensuring the sustainability of production, in a global approach that includes the economy, the environment, the climate and the social dimension, is a key challenge for all SIQO sectors.

A day to accompany you

This meeting will be an opportunity for local ODGs to discover the tools at their disposal, as well as the support mechanisms that can be mobilized to commit to a sustainable approach. It will also provide an opportunity to share experiences and exchange ideas, thanks to practical workshops focusing on very concrete issues (reducing costs, optimizing value creation, defining distribution channels, renewing assets...).
