Overview

As economies restart in 2021, the World Economic Forum is encouraging embedding greater social equity and sustainability into the recovery to build back better than before.

At this lunch event, Rachel will kōrero about how Kono strives to be the best indigenous food and beverage company in the world whilst operating under a 500 year plan that puts land, people, identity and community at the forefront of all that it does. She’ll also discuss the governance structures that are in place to make this happen and there will be a chance for people to ask questions at the end of her presentation.
