As the September 2026 application date for the EU’s Empowering Consumers Directive (EmpCo) approaches, food and beverage companies are putting their implementation plans into action. Sustainability claims, supplier verification, internal governance and claim substantiation are becoming key priorities across the industry.
In this on-demand webinar, FoodChain ID is joined by Guillaume Sauzay, Head of the Harmony Program at Mondelēz, for a practical discussion on how global food brands are preparing for the new requirements.
Rather than explaining the legislation itself, this session focuses on real-world implementation. Hear first-hand experiences, practical lessons and operational approaches for reviewing sustainability claims, strengthening supporting evidence and preparing cross-functional teams for September 2026.
In this webinar, you’ll learn:
- How organizations are reviewing existing sustainability claims and labels
- Which types of claims require stronger substantiation
- Practical approaches to supplier verification and traceability
- How Sustainability, Regulatory, Quality, Procurement and Marketing teams are working together
- Best practices for building robust evidence and claim documentation
- Implementation challenges, lessons learned and key priorities ahead of September 2026
