About this Event
Books Inc. Opera Plaza welcomes Bon Appétit's Maisie Ganzler for a celebration of her book You Can't Market Manure at Lunchtime!
Five invaluable lessons for doing sustainability right, doing it profitably, and getting the credit you deserve.
Did the title of this book get your attention? Good. Because as silly as it is, the idea behind it is serious, earnest, and authentic: you can't become a sustainable operation if you're doing the right things in the wrong place or at the wrong time.
Many businesses are in the dark about how to actually do better for the planet and the people in their company and their supply chain while also growing their margin. Some believe it can't be done. But it can. Maisie Ganzler has done it, and now she's going to show you how to build sustainability into your business, too. Her five big lessons come from three decades of successes and failures leading a $1.7 billion corporation toward a more sustainable future. Join Ganzler as she takes you to pig farms and boardrooms, factories and farmers' markets, teaching you not only how to operate more sustainably but also how to get the credit you deserve for doing it.
No matter what industry you're in, Ganzler's stories from the front lines in the food business will inspire and educate you on what it takes to get sustainability right.
Maisie Ganzler is Chief Strategy and Brand Officer at Bon Appétit Management Company, a $1.7 billion food-service company and subsidiary of the largest food-service company in the world, Compass Group. She is the go-to expert on how food companies can make positive change, called upon for strategic counsel by advocacy groups and big businesses alike. Ganzler has played an integral role in changing the food industry and building America's food movement for almost three decades.
