Join us for a dynamic and insightful roundtable seminar dedicated to exploring the transformative role of social value within the retail, hospitality, and tourism sectors. This event will bring together key industry leaders, local businesses, policymakers, and professionals to discuss how we can build a more sustainable, inclusive, and economically resilient local economy.

Key topics will include:

• Social Value: Understanding how businesses can maximise their positive impact on local communities, from supporting social enterprises to enhancing community well-being.
• Local Supply Chain: Discovering the importance of local sourcing and how businesses can strengthen their supply chains while supporting regional producers and reducing environmental impact.
