Nisa’s has announced the registration date for retailers and suppliers wanting to attend the upcoming annual trade show will be Monday, 24th August.

Nisa Expo, set to take place on Tuesday 20th and Wednesday 21st October, is being hosted virtually for the first time in its history due to the ongoing coronavirus pandemic.

The event, based in Stoneleigh, is set to include all the usual features with some additional interactivity only available through a virtual platform.

Despite the very different event, the Expo will still provide the opportunities for suppliers and partners to help each other grow their businesses.

Attendees are able to strike deals and learn more about the benefits of being part of the Nisa/Co-op group of companies.

Opportunities for one to one supplier meetings, virtual store tours, special deals, category insights and interaction with Nisa colleagues are also available.

Nisa events manager Jenny Potts said: “We’re really pleased to be opening registration on Monday. The interest we’ve received so far from partners, suppliers and Nisa colleagues is really encouraging and we’re excited to be able to offer our very first virtual Nisa Expo which promises to be a fantastic event with a great line-up.”

Further details about the virtual Nisa Expo will continue to be revealed over the coming weeks with all information available at www.nisaexpo.co.uk.

Food and drink giants under pressure to act on public health

Shareholders in food and drink giants such as PepsiCo, Coca-Cola and Mondelez are among a group of investors calling on the sector to be more transparent about the healthiness of its sales as a first step towards taking accountability for its significant impact on public health, in a move coordinated by responsible investment NGO ShareAction, the NGO stated.

The investors include Legal & General Investment Management, Pictet Asset Management, Nest, and CCLA, who collectively manage £2.34trn in assets. In a letter delivered today (21) to the chief executives of PepsiCo, Coca-Cola, Mondelēz, Kraft Heinz, Kellanova, and General Mills, investors have called on the companies to follow the likes of Unilever and Danone in adopting internationally-accepted nutrition standards for publicly reporting the healthiness of their sales.
