Lessons from scale: what actually works and what doesn’t

June Expert Event for Members

Thursday 4th June, 2026

10:00am - 11:00am GMT | Online

Everyone talks about scaling climate-smart change. Very few organisations actually do it.​

At scale, good ideas fail for predictable reasons. Data becomes fragmented. Teams stretch thin. Incentives pull in different directions. Investment rarely matches the pace of ambition. ​

And yet, some organisations are able to move faster. Not through isolated pilots or hero projects, but by putting the right conditions in place across data, capital, people and partnerships. ​

That’s why we’re at our June Expert Event in partnership with Foodsteps, we are bringing together leaders from across the food system to explore a simple but necessary question:​

What needs to be true for change to move at scale and to last?

You will hear perspectives spanning data, dairy, system transformation and regenerative agriculture, including: ​

  • Stephanie Lambert, Managing Director, Foodsteps​

  • Ben Williams, Sustainability Manager, Leprino Foods

  • ​Estelle Herszenhorn, Director of Food System Transformation, WRAP

  • Tor Harris, Programme Design and Company Engagement Lead, Routes to Regen

Together, they will unpack what actually scales, why well-intentioned programmes break down at enterprise level and where leaders should focus effort now.​

This is a commercial conversation about delivery, not theory.​

Why businesses are attending this event

Future Food Movement members are looking for clarity on how to move from ambition to delivery in a complex and fast-changing environment. This session focuses on what actually enables scale in practice.​

  • Why some programmes gain momentum while others stall​

  • Where the real blockers sit, across data, capability, incentives and leadership​

  • How to balance pace, risk and delivery across complex supply chains​

  • What the right relationship between investment, people and partners looks like​

  • Where to double down and what to stop doing​​

If you are responsible for delivering sustainability at scale, this is a conversation worth being part of.​
