Eco Drinks is to return later this month, with the second edition of the conference focusing on the latest sustainability talking points in the beverage industry.

The forum, organised by Arena International, Just Drinks’ sister events business, made its debut last year and will reconvene on 22 January.

The conference, to be held at 155 Bishopsgate in London, will bring together delegates to discuss issues ranging from the push to net zero, regenerative agriculture and the drive to make packaging more sustainable.

The event includes a fireside chat with Starbucks on its supply-chain partnerships and a session from Asahi Group Holdings on the interplay between innovation and net zero.

Delegates will also have the opportunity to hear panel sessions exploring topics including lower-carbon sourcing and packaging innovation, featuring executives from Pernod Ricard, UK distributor Mangrove and keg-and-can wine business Canned Wine Group.

Meanwhile, Jamie Douglas-Hamilton, the founder of ionised-water business Actiph, will discuss how sustainability plays into consumers’ buying habits, while Beyond Belief Brewing Co.’s Freddie Ugo will set out how the brewer uses surplus ingredients to produce its beer.

Booking: Limited spaces remain – please find more information on the Arena website.

Date: 22 January
