Sustainability for 2020

We know how sustainability is increasingly important.

The Food Manufacturing Market in general may not be well known for its sustainable impact, however global trends are driving the market to shift gears towards more sustainable solutions and we see the auto aftermarket as the engine that powers this change in order to make a noticeable difference socially, environmentally and economically in the region.

Running Africa Food Manufacturing gives us lots of opportunities to improve our impact environmentally, socially and economically in our region.  We want to make the event more responsible and play a role in helping the market improve its own sustainability through connecting people with the networks and knowledge they want to help solve the big challenges in the automotive sector.

Our three aims
