The role of leadership is at every level of the organization. Today's leaders are more like coaches, partners, or mentors, guiding and supporting employees' work rather than simply commanding or assigning tasks. The definition of leadership is not what you do to your employees, but what you do with your employees.
The "adaptive leadership" model is based on different situations, through the judgment of employees' ability to complete tasks and morale, so that leaders can adjust their leadership style in a timely manner to achieve the best effect of implementing impact, so as to lead employees to achieve good work performance, improve subordinate satisfaction, and achieve team growth. "Adaptive leadership" is not only an advanced leadership model but also a very practical tool and skill.

领导力的作用体现在组织的每一个层面。今天的领导者更像是教练、合作伙伴或导师，指导和支持着员工的工作， 而不是简单地命令或分配任务。领导的定义不是你对员工做了什么，而是你和员工一起做什么。
“适应性领导”模式是根据情境的不同，通过对员工完成任务的能力和士气进行判断，使领导者能够适时地调整 自己的领导风格，达到实施影响的最佳效果，从而带领员工取得良好的工作绩效，提高下属的满意度，并实现团队成 长。“适应性领导”不仅是一种先进的领导模式，更是一种非常实用的工具与技能。

Climate change has become one of the focuses that attract global attention. China also proposed at the 2020 United Nations General Assembly to fully implement the United Nations 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development, striving to achieve peak carbon dioxide emissions by 2030 and carbon neutrality by 2060. The first challenge faced by enterprises in reducing emissions is how to calculate emissions more accurately, scientifically, and comprehensively, which is the foundation of enterprise emission reduction. The disclosure of emissions from enterprise products and operations may become a necessary policy requirement in the future. More and more regional markets and supply chains will impose restrictions on emissions to help reduce emissions and assume social responsibility.

European Parliament recently voted to officially pass the proposal on carbon border adjustment mechanism. It is reported that the CBAM plan (carbon tariff) will be implemented from October 1, 2023.

In recent years international F&B manufacturers and exporters are looking at the country for their investments and business expansion; US and European brands such as Beyond Meat, Omni Foods, VIOLIFE, and St Hubert have stepped into the Chinese market, of which the food and beverage market size was 9.1 billion US dollars in 2021, registered with a CAGR of 14%, according to Zhiyanzhan Research Institute. On the other side, the EU’s Farm to Fork strategy calls for a fair, healthy and sustainable food system and one of the approaches is transitioning from intensive animal agriculture to more plant-based food production.

This event will help European SMEs identify the market opportunities in plant-based food in China; analyse the exports to the region; understand the regulatory landscape; build competitive advantages against local brands; and benchmark against other leading entities that are thriving in this sector.

Join us on 30th August to hear about the latest developments and best practices from our prominent group of industry players and analysts.

Recent world events such as the Covid Pandemic have challenged us to prepare to manage previously unthinkable situations that may threaten an organization’s future. This new challenge goes beyond the mere emergency response plan or disaster management activities that you might previously have employed. Your organisation must engage in a comprehensive process best described generically as Business Continuity. It is no longer enough to draft a response plan that anticipates naturally, accidentally, or intentionally caused disaster or emergency scenarios. Today’s threats require creating an ongoing, interactive process that ensures the continuation of an organization’s core activities before, during, and, most importantly, after a major crisis event.
