Our communications strategy has helped promote all our initiatives with events, websites like “Eat & Live Well”, “Small Scale, Big Impact” and publications, like “Ingredients for a Circular Economy”, that very recently won the award for “Best Association Magazine or Publication” at the European Association Awards.

The general topics we work on were also highlighted in a series of podcasts launched on our website and supported by a strong presence on social media. FoodDrinkEurope’s Twitter account has gathered over 10,200 followers, which puts it in a clear lead among Brussels-based trade associations. The launch of our Facebook page helped create new channels to showcase our initiatives.

But this is only a small part of our activities, and I invite you to discover more in this annual report in which we give a more detailed description.

All of our undertakings and accomplishments would not have been possible without the commitment and engagement of our members, and I take this opportunity to thank them for their trust and their support. Finally, I also want to express my deep appreciation to my colleagues for all their hard work, for their professionalism and for their smiles!

A MESSAGE FROM THE PRESIDENT

THE ENTHUSIASM, AMBITION AND EXPERTISE OF OUR MEMBERS AND OF THE SECRETARIAT ARE DEMONSTRATED BY THE ACHIEVEMENTS REACHED AND THE PROGRESS THAT HAS BEEN MADE IN MANY IMPORTANT AREAS.

A MESSAGE FROM THE DIRECTOR GENERAL

Our Roadmap is an important strategic and visionary base which guides our work by setting ambitious goals for our sector, to highlight the role we play in the economy and to ensure that our sector’s views are taken fully into consideration by policy-makers during important discussions and decisions.

Amongst the many activities we carried out on the policy front, FoodDrinkEurope:

• supported the nutrition and health agenda by contributing actively to the work of the Netherlands EU Presidency on food product improvement;

• developed circular economy guidelines for the European food and drink industry;

• partnered with the food banks to develop joint guidelines on food donations;

• contributed to EU and international policy debates with contributions to consultations, expert positions, data collection, codes of practice and research & innovation initiatives;

• teamed up with our social partners to better match skills and jobs in the food and drink sector;

• promoted the contribution and value of SMEs in our sector through the Small Scale, Big Impact initiative.

As we continue to have a positive impact on the European economy, we cannot take the past success for granted. Today we appear to be at a turning point: either we continue along the current path which will result in a slowing down of our growth rate, or we step up our efforts. This is not about reinventing our base line and our values, but about thinking of new ways to address the challenges responsibly and to create solutions in an integrated way.

The European food and drink industry has made its ambition clear: we commit to generating value added growth of 2.5-3.5% per year by 2025. This is a step forward compared to our past performance and will provide a significant contribution to the EU economy. But clearly we cannot do it alone. We need the right environment, one that promotes investment and growth. While the sector continues to operate responsibly, it relies on an enabling policy framework to support its aspiration to grow. With the objective of completing the Single Market and boosting innovation, the reduction of regulatory burdens can make a difference.

Looking ahead, 2017 is likely to bring more challenges our way and – given its importance for competitiveness, growth and jobs – we will be particularly focussed on the defence of the EU Single Market in the area of food and drinks. In this context, the challenge that Brexit poses adds another layer of complication for our industry on both sides of the channel. Meanwhile, Europe’s food and drink industry remains as vibrant as ever, and is ready to take advantage of the opportunities that the coming months will certainly provide.

I have complete confidence that the FoodDrinkEurope membership and Secretariat, thanks to their commitment and expertise, will contribute successfully to the achievement of our goals and ambitions for sustainable growth, for innovative jobs and for excellent food and drink products that bring satisfaction to all our consumers, both in Europe and worldwide.

Gilles MorelPresident

As the leading European manufacturing sector in terms of turnover and employment, our industry has a responsibility to keep generating growth and jobs, to ensure the satisfaction and well-being of consumers, and of course to secure environmental sustainability, no matter how challenging the political or economic context is.

The food and drink industry can meet this challenge and has shown resilience even throughout the most difficult times. Thanks to innovation and digitalisation, hiring new talents as well as matching skill needs, we have the potential to generate more value added while bringing new talents into the industry, managing an ageing workforce and helping make the sector more attractive to both new and existing employees.

2016 was a busy and very fruitful year for FoodDrinkEurope, despite the challenging political landscape. Together with our Board, we secured the adoption of a new Roadmap for the coming years.

THE FOOD AND DRINK INDUSTRY CAN RESPOND AND HAS SHOWN RESILIENCE EVEN THROUGHOUT THE MOST DIFFICULT TIMES.

A COMPETITIVE FOOD AND DRINK INDUSTRY FOR GROWTH AND JOBSThe food and drink industry is Europe’s largest manufacturing industry, its largest employer and a major player in our economy. Yet, in the current difficult economic climate, there is no time for business as usual; the sector must therefore collectively step up its efforts, particularly in terms of trade and innovation.

In September 2016, Europe’s food and drink industry announced its commitment to generate a value added growth of 2.5-3.5% per year by 2025. This ambitious programme includes a set of policy priorities and recommendations, so that Europe’s food and drink manufacturers can address the upcoming challenges responsibly and create solutions to increase sustainability, improve consumer trust and promote healthier lifestyles.This must go hand in hand with growth and job creation.

This growth ambition was thoroughly explained in a visually engaging report and was accompanied by a video address from FoodDrinkEurope’s President, Mr. Gilles Morel. FoodDrinkEurope’s ambition for growth was also presented at the inaugural meeting of the renewed High Level Forum for a Better Functioning Food Supply Chain, which took place in December 2016.

Data & Trends : EU Food and Drink Industry 2016

The High Level Forum for a Better Functioning Food Supply Chain (HLF)

Through 2016, FoodDrinkEurope actively took part in the High Level Forum for a Better Functioning Food Supply Chain, with two HLF Sherpa meetings organised by the European Commission.

Amidst lively discussions on unfair trading practices, FoodDrinkEurope’s President presented the industry’s growth ambition at the inaugural meeting of the renewed HLF, which took place in December 2016.

The Supply Chain Initiative (SCI) and Unfair Trading Practices (UTPs)

In 2016, registrations to the SCI continued to increase and reached a new peak of 381 companies/groups, representing 1,161 national operating companies. FoodDrinkEurope has been fully involved in discussions to strenghten the role of the SCI, notably through the appointment of an independent chair.

At the HLF meeting on 15 March, FoodDrinkEurope’s President stressed that the SCI complements national regimes, but, as currently designed, does not suffice to address UTPs. The possibility of an EU-wide framework, covering the entire food supply chain, should therefore be explored.

EU PROMOTION POLICY FOR AGRICULTURAL AND FOOD PRODUCTSIn December 2016, FoodDrinkEurope, together with Copa-Cogeca and CELCAA, organised a well-attended technical meeting to discuss the lessons learnt from the 2016 calls for proposals on the EU promotion policy with DG AGRI and CHAFEA . Members had the unique opportunity to receive from DG AGRI and CHAFEA their insight on the submitted proposals, the assets of the awarded projects and recommendations for future applicants.

Earlier in the year, FoodDrinkEurope submitted its contribution to the 2017 Annual Work Programme of the EU promotion policy. FoodDrinkEurope members accompanied Commissioner Phil Hogan in the business delegation visits to Vietnam and Indonesia (02-09/11), China and Japan (16-22/04) and Colombia and Mexico (08-12/02).

These visits are a unique opportunity for EU business representatives to meet top manufacturing and retail executives and to develop contacts.

FoodDrinkEurope was actively involved in the consultation process leading to the publication of the Commission proposal for a revised Renewable Energy Directive. In its written contributions to the consultations for the preparation of a sustainable bioenergy policy for the period after 2020 (in May 2016) and for the preparation of a new Renewable Energy Directive for the period after 2020 (in February 2016), FoodDrinkEurope highlighted that the renewable energy legislation should encourage sustainable renewable energies with high and effective greenhouse gas reduction potential, as well as follow the “food first” principle.

FoodDrinkEurope organised a workshop in November 2016 to inform market participants and raise awareness on "The new EU legal framework for agricultural commodity derivatives markets".

The workshop brought together Member State representatives of the Expert Group on agricultural commodity derivatives and spot markets and stakeholders of the EU agri-food supply chain, to discuss the practical preparations for the entry into application of MiFID II (Markets in Financial Instruments) provisions.

AGRICULTURE AND THE EU 2030 CLIMATE TARGETSFeeding into the Commission’s work on the proposal to integrate greenhouse gas emissions and removals from land use, land use-change and forestry (LULUCF) into the 2030 climate and energy framework, FoodDrinkEurope has emphasised that food security is strongly linked to climate change and its impact on the availability of agricultural products, in terms of quantity and quality. Hence, food security and climate change must be addressed equally.

The Common Agricultural PolicyThroughout 2016, FoodDrinkEurope provided input to DG AGRI initiatives on the Agricultural Markets Task Force, notably on market transparency, and the experience with the first year of application of the greening obligations under the direct payment scheme. In September 2016, FoodDrinkEurope participated in the Cork 2.0 conference and expressed its support for the second pillar of the CAP (rural development), a key driver of growth and employment in EU rural regions.

“SMALL SCALE, BIG IMPACT”: A NEW INITIATIVE FOR FOOD AND DRINK SMESFollowing up from the launch of the SME Champion’s Network in 2015, FoodDrinkEurope started in 2016 a new initiative entitled “Small Scale, Big Impact”, in order to promote and showcase the diversity, culture, tradition and contribution to growth of Europe’s food and drink small and medium-sized enterprises. The launch event took place on 24 November 2016, during the European SME Week. The European Commissioner for Agriculture and Rural Development, Phil Hogan, was the keynote speaker. SME representatives presented their products and had the opportunity to share their experience with the Commissioner and other policy-makers.

The “Small Scale, Big Impact” project is supported by a website which presents individual companies from various Member States and food and drink sectors, who share their challenges and successes via videos and testimonials.

SMALLSCALE BIGIMPACTThe food and drink industry is a highly diversified sector with many companies of different sizes. SMEs generate almost 50% of the food and drink industry turnover and value added and provide two thirds of the employment of the sector. The food and drink industry accounts for more than 285,000 SMEs.

Multilateral trade negotiationsFoodDrinkEurope remained supportive of the WTO in seeking a successful and balanced multilateral trade agreement that clarifies trade rules, strengthens disciplines applicable to agriculture and creates new trade opportunities.

A FoodDrinkEurope delegation attended the 2016 WTO Public Forum entitled “Inclusive Growth” held at the WTO headquarters in Geneva, on 27-29 September 2016. On this occasion, FoodDrinkEurope delegates also met with key contacts of the WTO Secretariat and various Permanent Representations and Missions to discuss the progress in the multilateral talks following the 10th WTO Ministerial Conference which took place in Nairobi in December 2015.

FoodDrinkEurope was active on a range of EU bilateral trade negotiations and agreements with third countries, in particular the EU-Canada Comprehensive Economic and Trade Agreement (CETA) signed in October 2016, the ongoing trade talks with Japan and the EU-US TTIP negotiations.

In October 2016, FoodDrinkEurope welcomed the signature of CETA and called on the European Parliament to support the agreement which would enable its swift implementation.

FoodDrinkEurope continued to monitor and engage on the EU-Japan FTA negotiations. It participated in a seminar on Japan’s food additives approval process organised by the European Commission, contributed to the BUSINESSEUROPE-KEIDANREN joint paper on EU-Japan Regulatory Cooperation and in December 2016, together with several other industry associations, launched a joint business call to support a successful and inclusive conclusion of the EU-Japan FTA negotiations, which seemed close to reaching its final stage.

Throughout the year, FoodDrinkEurope also responded to several public consultations of the European Commission - notably on a free trade agreement with the Philippines; Indonesia; on the future of EU-Turkey trade and economic relations; on the future of trade and economic relations with Australia and New Zealand; and on the trade pillar of the EU-Mercosur Association Agreement.

BILATERAL TRADE NEGOTIATIONS

THE EU SOCIAL DIALOGUE IN THE FOOD AND DRINK SECTOR

FoodDrinkEurope and EFFAT (European Federation of Food, Agriculture and Tourism Trade Unions) are recognised as EU-level Social Partners thanks to the EU Social Dialogue Committee they founded.

After a two year long joint research project, both organisations in September of 2016 launched a toolbox report in Bratislava, entitled “Bringing in new talent and managing an ageing workforce: two sides of the same coin – implementing good practices for a more attractive food and drink sector”.

This toolbox is based on a compilation of 28 hands-on good practice examples and tools submitted by respective national affiliates and members of the European social partners. Also available online as a living database, it allows employers, employees and interested parties to consult and share initiatives on new innovative ways to address issues such as recruiting more young people and retaining older workers in employment, with the context of also improving the image of the sector.

FoodDrinkEurope and its members have extensive procedures in place to ensure all products on the market meet the highest standards, most recent certification schemes and, of course, the latest legal requirements. These procedures include work on ingredients, on materials which are in contact with food, on allergens, and – from a broader perspective – on chemical and biological food safety aspects.

In July 2016, FoodDrinkEurope published its position on the issue of food fraud. Food fraud is of increasing concern to society, including the food industry. As such the membership of FoodDrinkEurope considers it important to clarify its position on the issue. Food fraud is an unacceptable criminal activity and the food industry wishes to clearly distance itself from it. FoodDrinkEurope members are committed to ensuring the integrity of its supply chains and supporting government efforts to fight against food fraud for the protection of consumers and the industry itself. In parallel, FoodDrinkEurope appeals to its members to continuously strengthen their food safety/quality management systems in order to mitigate the impact of food fraud.

In addition, FoodDrinkEurope established several industry positions in response to regulatory developments at European and national level on process contaminants (MCPDs and glycidyl esters), contaminants, such as mercury and biocides, as well as food contact material on printing inks, etc.

ENSURING A SCIENCE-BASED APPROACH TO FOOD SAFETY AND INNOVATION

In the area of food contact materials, FoodDrinkEurope published its Industry Guidelines on the safe use of paper and board made from recycled fibres for food contact use. The purpose of this document is to encourage a “risk evaluation” to assess the suitability of a given item of recycled paper packaging, for use with a specific food product in given packaging format and also to encourage an appropriate dialogue between food producers and their packaging suppliers. The document provides guidance on the issues which should be considered in such a risk evaluation and provides links to a number of regulatory and non-regulatory standards, including industry best practice guidance.

In 2016, FoodDrinkEurope members actively contributed to EFSA’s call for data on additive re-evaluation programme, but also on contaminants, such as furan, by providing some several thousands of data from various food products to ensure the broadest possible feedback.

Regarding FoodDrinkEurope’s work on acrylamide, sectorial codes of practice were finalised, in order to become part of the upcoming European legislation and, most importantly, make mandatory the assessment of tools to mitigate acrylamide. Moreover, an infographic and a fact sheet on acrylamide were also developed.

FoodDrinkEurope continued its contribution to the content of the European Commission Communication on EU Regulatory Fitness (REFIT) with a view to examining the functioning of the general food law. FoodDrinkEurope continues to follow closely the developments, through its involvement in the European Commission’s REFIT Platform and delivered case studies regarding the challenges to the functioning of the internal market, but also on the use of biocides, which are necessary to maintain the hygiene status of food and its ingredients to produce safe food.

In the context of Better Regulation, FoodDrinkEurope focused in particular on aspects of mutual recognition.

REDUCINGACRYLAMIDEIN FOOD PRODUCTSWhat is acrylamide?Acrylamide is a chemical naturally formed in some foods when they are baked, fried or roasted at high cooking temperatures, above 120°C. Acrylamide is not added to food. It can be found in a wide range of food products such as bread, biscuits, potato crisps, French fries and coffee, whether they are cooked at home, in restaurants or commercially.

Food businesses take the lead to reduce acrylamide in our foodThe food industry took action as soon as acrylamide was discovered, more than 14 years ago. An Acrylamide Toolbox for manufacturers has been created with the support of the European Commission and other national authorities. EFSA regards the toolbox as an important initiative to reduce acrylamide across food categories.

Other related initiativesThroughout 2016, FoodDrinkEurope, via the ETP “Food for Life”, held the chairmanship of the Stakeholder Advisory Boards of the Joint Programming Initiatives (JPIs) “Healthy Diet for a Healthy Life”, and “Agriculture, Food Security and Climate Change”. The JPIs were established in order to make better use of Europe’s precious public research and innovation resources and to tackle common European challenges more effectively.

FoodDrinkEurope is also a member of the External Advisory Board of the ERA-Net Cofund SUSFOOD2, aimed at increasing cooperation and synergy between the European partners and defining common future perspectives in sustainable food production and consumption.

FoodDrinkEurope’s President, Gilles Morel, spoke at the FOOD 2030 high level event in October 2016, which provided a platform to discuss how research and innovation systems could better contribute to Food and Nutrition Security.

FoodDrinkEurope is a partner of the EU-funded projects “New dietary strategies addressing the specific needs of the elderly population for healthy ageing in Europe - NU-AGE”, “Traditional Food Network to improve the transfer of knowledge for innovation - TRAFOON” (both finished in 2016) and “Promoting Societal Engagement in Research and Innovation - PROSO”.

FoodDrinkEurope also contributed to the development of the sectorial guidance document on Food and Feed of the EU “Access and Benefit-Sharing” regulation, which aims at establishing a framework governing compliance with requirements to access genetic resources and for benefit-sharing in accordance with the Nagoya Protocol.

Research and Innovation EUROPEAN TECHNOLOGY PLATFORM (ETP) “FOOD FOR LIFE”

Established back in 2005 under the management of FoodDrinkEurope, the ETP “Food for Life” is an industry-led, public/private partnership encouraged by the European Commission, with the aim to drive forward innovation to create a better working European food system for all.

In 2016, following a “rejuvenation” process that took place in 2015 steered by the FoodDrinkEurope Board, the ETP launched its new website. In addition to the new website, the ETP has now a new image, vision and structure, led by a Leadership Team composed of 15 well-established scientists of the European food sector, coming from both industry (including SMEs) and Academia, and chaired by Prof. Dr Gert W. Meijer, Deputy Head Corporate Regulatory and Scientific Affairs at Nestlé.

Furthermore, 2016 saw the update of the ETP’s Strategic Research and Innovation Agenda, which contains key research and innovation priorities that, if funded and implemented, will move the entire sector forward. This publication, produced in a group effort by the members of the ETP, is available to consult on the ETP website.

More than 20 contributions, received during the public consultation on the draft Strategic Research and Innovation Agenda (SRIA), have also been integrated in this final version of the document.

The European Technology Platform (ETP) “Food for Life” unites stakeholder communities (academics, industry, etc.) within the food and drink sector to boost competitiveness through research and innovation.

WHO WE ARE

The ETP “Food for Life” proposes a number of targeted research and innovation actions that are described in detail in our Strategic Research and Innovation Agenda. These actions are grouped under three specific research and innovation targets:

European food and drink manufacturers are constantly optimising and bringing onto the market new products to cater to ever-evolving consumer and societal needs, e.g. low-in-salt products, zero or low-calorie options, smaller portion packs, etc. Food product improvement, or “product formulation and innovation”, was one of the key priorities of the Netherlands Presidency of the Council of the EU, in the first semester of 2016.

FoodDrinkEurope took a pro-active position on the matter and worked together with the Presidency to advance the food formulation and innovation agenda at EU level. FoodDrinkEurope’s President, Gilles Morel, was invited as a speaker at the High Level Conference on Food Product Improvement organised by the Netherlands Presidency and supported, on behalf of FoodDrinkEurope, the publication of the Presidency’s “Roadmap for Action on Food Product Improvement”, which set the basis for an EU multi-stakeholder approach to product formulation and innovation. Several members – sectors, federations and companies – showcased their reformulation progress throughout the year.

To further support the work of the Presidency “Roadmap”, FoodDrinkEurope organised a Networking Breakfast in April 2016 with EU Member States’ officials represented in the High Level Group on Nutrition and Physical Activity, stakeholders of the EU Platform for Action on Diet, Physical Activity and Health, the European Commission and industry members.

Consumer InformationEurope’s food and drink sector has been working hard over the past years to adapt to the new food labelling rules as per the EU Regulation on the provision of food information to consumers . At the same time, several outstanding implementing matters of the Regulation are expected to follow in the years to come, which will have to be accounted for by companies.

On 13 December 2016, a major step was taken with the application of rules on mandatory nutrition labelling, an important development which FoodDrinkEurope welcomed. FoodDrinkEurope prepared a complementary Questions & Answers

In addition to the mandatory nutrition declaration, many operators have voluntarily chosen to also provide key information about nutrients and calories per portion on the front-of-pack of their products, through the so-called “Reference Intake” icons, which were originally introduced by the industry in 2005.

FoodDrinkEurope also actively followed the developments related to country of origin labelling, e.g. in the context of the draft Commission Implementing Regulation on origin labelling of the “primary ingredient(s)”.

In 2016, FoodDrinkEurope held an internal workshop for its members to prepare for the EU Regulatory Fitness (REFIT) evaluation on certain aspects of the Nutrition and Health Claims Regulation , i.e. nutrient profiles and health claims made on plants and their preparations.

FoodDrinkEurope continues to underline the need for a workable EU approach to claims, which protects and supports investment in research and innovation, provides market opportunities and communication incentives (cf. probiotics), while at the same time ensuring clear, correct and easy-to-understand information for consumers.

Nutrition and health claims

As part of its commitments to the EU Platform for Action on Diet, Physical Activity and Health, FoodDrinkEurope launched a new initiative entitled “Eat & Live Well” in October 2016. This initiative gathers a wide range of existing and new actions taken by national food and drink federations, European sectors and individual companies (including SMEs) to promote healthier choices.

The areas in which the industry is active are categorised on the website: i) formulation and innovation ii) consumer information iii) portions iv) responsible marketing and advertising v) promoting healthy lifestyles vi) research. The website provides a dynamic and transparent platform – including a search function and reporting mechanism – for anyone interested in knowing more about the wealth of activities undertaken by the food and drink sector.

FoodDrinkEurope is committed to further advance the positive role the European food and drink sector can play in promoting (more) balanced diets and healthy lifestyles.

NEW WEBSITE “EAT & LIVE WELL”

The Eat and Live Well website offers a wealth of information on how Europe’s food and drink sector puts in place initiatives to help consumers achieve a more balanced diet and better lifestyle, while still enjoying their food and keeping its social and traditional role.

What we eat and how we eat it is both a pleasure and an art. Let us continue to enjoy it and at the same time help tackle challenges related to health and nutrition.

The commitment of food and drink companies to change recipes and introduce new products has had a significant and positive impact on the diet of Irish consumers.

Regrettably, in 2016, food and drink manufacturers across Europe were faced with a proliferation of national measures on mandatory origin labelling, which sets a dangerous precedent for the fragmentation of the EU Single Market for food.

FoodDrinkEurope anticipated work on precautionary allergen labelling, collaborating with the European Commission and the Joint Research Centre (JRC), and agreed within its membership on the use of a single harmonised wording for “may contain” labelling. At global level, FoodDrinkEurope participated in meetings of the Codex Alimentarius Committees on Food labelling (CCFL) and Nutrition (CCNFSDU).

IMPLEMENTING THE UN SUSTAINABLE DEVELOPMENT GOALS

These practical guidelines, supported by Commissioner Andriukaitis (DG SANTE), have been developed as a continuation and reinforcement of the food and drink industry’s “Every Crumb Counts” commitments to reducing food waste in operations and across the whole supply chain. They help food and drink manufacturers and retailers put in place internal processes for when food surpluses do arise, in order to maximise the resource efficiency benefits. The joint guidelines also contribute to the ongoing EU and global policy discussions on food waste prevention and stimulating the circular economy.

Also in November 2016, FoodDrinkEurope was invited to speak at a Conference entitled “Reducing Food Waste - Improving Food Safety” hosted by MEP Biljana Borzan (S&D). FoodDrinkEurope’s Chairman of the Food

FIGHTING FOOD WASTE AND ACHIEVING RESULTSFoodDrinkEurope has made the fight against food waste one of its key priorities and has continued to meaningfully engage with EU and global policy makers, while promoting the industry’s commitments in this area. In November 2016, FoodDrinkEurope was selected as a member of the Commission’s (DG SANTE) EU Platform on Food Losses and Food Waste.

This platform, composed of governmental and international organisations, academia, trade associations and NGOs, will be working on important deliverables, such as an EU methodology to assess food waste and EU guidelines on food donations, in order to contribute to the implementation of the United Nations Sustainable Development Goal 12.3. In 2016, FoodDrinkEurope also joined the United Nations Environment Programme’s (UNEP) and the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations’ (FAO) advisory board on Sustainable Food Systems. Within this context, the Commission’s Standing Committee on Plants, Animals, Food and Feed (PAFF) officially endorsed the “Every Meal Matters” Food Donation Guidelines jointly developed by FoodDrinkEurope, in partnership with the European Federation of Food Banks (FEBA), and EuroCommerce, and launched during an event and a food bank guided visit in June 2016.

Wastage Task Force, David Bellamy, presented FoodDrinkEurope’s key actions and commitments on food waste prevention in a panel debate in the European Parliament with Health and Food Safety Commissioner Andriukaitis.

FoodDrinkEurope is recognised as an important contributor to the ongoing work on food waste prevention by both the Commission, European Parliament and other key stakeholders. Positive feedback was depicted in the lively discussions that took place on twitter, with the Commissioner and the MEP, among others, liking and retweeting our content.

I AM HEARTENED TO SEE THE INITIATIVE TAKEN BY FOODDRINKEUROPE, EUROCOMMERCE AND THE EUROPEAN FEDERATION OF FOOD BANKS TO ENCOURAGE, CLARIFY AND FACILITATE FOOD DONATION.

12FoodDrinkEurope 2017 Annual Report

A4

With the objective of constructively contributing to ongoing European political discussions on a Circular Economy Action Plan and related legislative initiatives such as the revised Waste Framework and Packaging and Packaging Waste Directives, FoodDrinkEurope marked World Environment Day, in June 2016, with the launch of a report and website titled “Ingredients for a Circular Economy”.

Enhancing a resource-efficient, circular economy, is one of the most important priorities for the industry. It plays a key role in food and drink companies’ long-term competitiveness and makes good environmental and business sense. The purpose of this work is to showcase what a circular economy means to the sector, how it is implemented and what is needed to unlock further sustainable growth and innovation for building a more circular economy. It includes concrete examples of what manufacturers do to move towards a more circular economy; for instance, through preventing food waste and striving to preserve the value of resources such as water, energy and materials, which went into producing the food in the first place.

The Ingredients for a Circular Economy publication (both print and online) was the winner of the European Association Awards 2017 in the category for Best Publication, among several other successful nominees.

FoodDrinkEurope kicked off a sector assessment of the Environmental Footprint (EF) pilots on food and drink products which has run over the past 3 years. The objective of this work is to come forward with the European food and drink industry’s recommendations on the possible future use of the EU Environmental Footprint Methodology.

Food SCP Round TableThe European Food Sustainable Consumption and Production (SCP) Round Table continued to develop further technical guidance on the ENVIFOOD protocol horizontal topics and investigated possibilities for biodiversity measurement for life cycle assessment of food and drink products. A Circular Economy Task Force was set up in 2016 with the aim of delivering food chain recommendations on how to further enable a more circular economy.

Industrial Emissions DirectiveFoodDrinkEurope has proactively provided its recommendations, throughout 2016, to the European Commission’s review of the Industrial Emissions Directive and the Best Available Techniques Reference Documents (BREF) for the Food, Drink and Milk sector and will continue to do so in 2017. The aim of this process is to set operating limits for manufacturing plants across the EU.
