In Season 5, Episode 35 of The Food Professor podcast, co-hosts Michael LeBlanc and Sylvain Charlebois deliver an information-packed episode with significant developments in both personal and industry news.Sylvain Charlebois opens with a major announcement about joining Texas A&M University on August 1st to lead their #1-ranked Masters in Agribusiness program while maintaining his position at Dalhousie University. Speaking from Saskatoon, Sylvain shares insights about his keynote on AI in the food business and briefly touches on the political climate following recent Canadian election results.The second Canadian Food Sentiment Index reveals continued concerns about food inflation, with many consumers pessimistically expecting double-digit inflation rates. The report highlights growing consumer trust in independent grocers, likely driven by the strengthening Buy Local movement. Sylvain notes that grocery retailers like Loblaw are becoming more transparent about strategic challenges they face.The featured interview showcases an in-depth in-person conversation live at SIAL Canada between Sylvain and Gilles Froment, Senior Vice President of Government Relations at Lactalis and President of the International Dairy Federation (IDF), marking the podcast's first solo interview by Sylvain in five years.Froment, only the third Canadian to head the IDF in its 120-year history, explains the organization's role in establishing global dairy standards through its network of 1,200 experts worldwide. The discussion covers critical industry topics including the challenges of plant-based alternatives using dairy terminology, global dairy demand outpacing supply, and the projection of a significant global milk shortage by 2030—potentially equivalent to three times Canada's annual production.Both experts agree this shortage represents a missed opportunity for Canada due to supply management limitations, despite the country's excellent reputation for dairy quality and safety standards. The conversation also explores sustainability challenges facing the dairy industry, with Froment detailing his four-pillar approach: economic sustainability, social impact, environmental responsibility, and nutritional value.Climate change initiatives discussed include carbon sequestration research, genetic selection for lower methane-emitting cows, and the controversy surrounding feed additives. Froment emphasizes the need for carbon measurement at farm level and incentive-based approaches rather than punitive taxation.The episode concludes with Michael and Sylvain discussing Weight Watchers' bankruptcy filing—attributed to the rise of GLP-1 weight loss drugs—and Tim Hortons' new partnership with Canadian actor Ryan Reynolds, debating whether this celebrity endorsement will effectively attract their target demographic of younger women to the coffee chain..

The industry was full of promises, but few products delivered results without irritation. After years of working behind the scenes at Smashbox, Kate Somerville, and Josie Maran Cosmetics, Amy found herself at a crossroads. She had built brands for others, but what about a brand built for people like her? People who wanted beauty without compromise?

Hosts Michael LeBlanc and Sylvain Charlebois sit down with Aaron Skelton, President and CEO of the Canadian Health Food Association (CHFA), to discuss pressing industry challenges and opportunities.With 82% of Canadians using natural health products, the CHFA is pivotal in advocating for businesses navigating Health Canada regulations, labelling laws, and cost recovery fees. Skelton shares insights into the Save Our Supplements (SOS) campaign, an initiative pushing back against policies that could increase costs and reduce product availability. He emphasizes the need for regulatory balance that fosters innovation while maintaining consumer safety.The conversation also covers the impact of rising tariffs on Canadian manufacturers, making it harder for local brands to compete with international markets. Skelton highlights the urgent need for policies that support domestic food production and streamline interprovincial trade.Shifting gears, the hosts explore consumer trust and transparency in health products. With increased scrutiny over false claims and misleading marketing, third-party certifications like B Corp and Canadian Organic Certification have become crucial in building credibility. Skelton stresses that transparency—not perfection—is key to maintaining consumer confidence.In the news, we touch on Elon's DOGE cuts to the USDA and their potential impact in Canada, Loblaws' multi-billion-dollar investment, the pause in Saskatchewan's canola processing plant, and KFC's surprising corporate relocation from Kentucky to Texas, as well as the state and future of agriculture in the Ukraine and the practical economics of adding hens in your back yard to make your eggs.This episode is packed with insider knowledge on food safety, economic policy, and industry regulation, making it a must-listen for food professionals, policymakers, and consumers interested in the future of Canada's health and wellness sector.

#202 The Rise of Greenwashing

In a world increasingly concerned about environmental impact, companies are under immense pressure to demonstrate their sustainability credentials. But how can businesses truly differentiate themselves from those simply paying lip service to green practices? Greenwashing is a term that you will likely be familiar with, as it's one that's been on the rise as consumer preference steers towards those who are seen to be doing the right thing. Alarmingly, high-severity cases, which involve companies that took a purposeful and systematic approach to concealing ESG violations, rise by more than 32% year on year. In our upcoming 3-part series we'll be exploring the impact of greenwashing on business, the different types of greenwashing and the role verification can play in building genuine evidence based sustainability strategies. In this episode, Mel dives into the first of this 3-part series to explain what greenwashing is, the common tactics used in greenwashing and how businesses can build genuine sustainability. You'll learn ·      Who is greenwashing? ·      Where did the term originate from? ·      The rise of greenwashing ·      What are some of the common greenwashing tactics used? ·      The danger of greenwashing ·      How can businesses build genuine sustainability strategies?   Resources ·      Carbonology     In this episode, we talk about: [02:05] Episode Summary – We kick off our 3-part greenwashing series with an exploration of what greenwashing really is, the common greenwashing tactics businesses employ and how you can avoid those pitfalls to build genuine sustainability within your business. [05:25] What is greenwashing?: Greenwashing, in essence, is the deceptive use of environmental claims to mislead consumers into believing a company's products or services are more environmentally friendly than they actually are. [05:45] Where did the term ‘greenwashing' originate from? – The term "greenwashing" was coined in 1986 by Jay Westerveld, an American environmentalist.   Westerveld first used the term in an essay describing his experience at a hotel in Fiji. The hotel encouraged guests to reuse towels to "save the environment," but Westerveld observed that the hotel was simultaneously expanding its operations, significantly impacting the local environment. This contradiction highlighted the hotel's primary intent to cut costs rather than genuinely conserve resources.   Westerveld's observation exemplified how businesses could deceptively use environmental claims to mislead consumers into believing their products or services are more environmentally friendly than they actually are.  [06:35] The rise of greenwashing: Many businesses over a wide range of industries have made a pledge to reduce their carbon impact by 2050, driven by both an increase in regulation and consumer perception. However, the Economist highlighted some troubling research, citing that while many businesses will puff out their claims of sustainable practices, many don't have the evidence to back them up. Many should have the resource, say an Asset Manager, that could provide tangible reports on their carbon consumption each year, and yet they choose not to publicly disclose any such reports. So, a lot of talking the talk, but not walking the walk! [07:40] The growing need for comprehensive carbon reporting – There are a number of sustainability and ESG regulations now in effect, with more to come in 2025 (such as the Green Claims Directive that is due to come into affect on the 27th March 2025) that require businesses of different sizes and sectors to report on their carbon consumption and reduction. If you'd like to learn more about a few of these, check out our previous episodes on: ·      SECR ·      ISBB S2 ·      CSRD ·      CSDDD [08:15] What are the common tactics used in greenwashing? These can include:- ·      Vague and Ambiguous Claims: Phrases like "eco-friendly" or "sustainable" are often used without specific, quantifiable data.  However, the EU Green Claims Directive, in theory help address this, although this only applied in Europe. ·      Focus on Single Issues: Highlighting one minor environmental benefit while ignoring significant negative impacts across the supply chain. ·      False Labels and Certifications: Creating misleading labels or misrepresenting genuine certifications.  There are numerous ‘Green certifications' out there that charge for a badge, without providing any evidence, of for those that do provide information it could just be a document that isn't evidence based i.e. a Policy statement or ‘pledge' or ‘commitment' ·      "Greenwashing by Association": Implying a connection to environmental causes through sponsorships or marketing campaigns. [10:15] The danger of greenwashing – The danger with greenwashing is the negative impact it has through an Erosion of Consumer Trust. People are becoming increasingly skeptical of environmental claims, making it harder for truly sustainable companies to gain credibility. Greenwashing can also lead to Distorted Market Signals: creating a false impression of progress, hindering genuine innovation and investment in sustainable solutions. [11:30] How can businesses build genuine sustainability strategies? ·      Transparency and Accountability: Disclose environmental data openly and transparently. Seek independent third-party verification of sustainability claims.   Focus on Life-Cycle Assessment: Evaluate environmental impacts across the entire product or service lifecycle, from raw material extraction to end-of-life disposal.   Continuous Improvement: Set ambitious, measurable, and time-bound environmental targets. Regularly review and refine sustainability strategies based on performance data.   Engage with Stakeholders: Collaborate with suppliers, customers, and other stakeholders to identify and address environmental challenges.

New Salesforce research Shows How AI Agents Can Step In as Consumer Trust Slips

Salesforce's latest State of the AI Connected Customer research reveals consumer trust in companies is at a record low and that AI is raising the stakes for brands. Today, 69% of consumers believe that advances in AI make trust even more important, and with AI agents on the rise, the findings point to real opportunities for companies to win back consumers with trustworthy AI agents this Christmas. This opportunity is greatest with Gen Zers, with 51% of Gen Z consumers saying they'd be comfortable having an agent shop for them. Why it matters: Faced with a challenging Christmas shopping season and sinking consumer trust, brands can't afford to get AI wrong - especially as more than $200 billion in global online sales will be influenced by AI this Christmas. AI agents, or intelligent software that understands and responds to customer inquiries without human intervention, can help companies drive higher margins and keep consumers buying by delivering incredible customer service. From alleviating clunky purchase experiences to difficult return processes, there's an agent for that. But to build trusted customer relationships, brands need trusted AI agents that are grounded in transparency and the right data. Some of the other key findings of the AI Connected Customer research include: Consumers trust less, expect more Consumer trust is at its lowest point in eight years, and advances in AI make earning that trust more critical than ever. Nearly three-quarters (74%) of consumers trust companies less than they did a year ago 61% feel companies are reckless with customer data It's not just about trust; consumers also expect best-in-class experiences. 76% of consumers expect consistent interactions across departments 65% of consumers prefer using fewer touchpoints to get information or complete a task While better deals are a top driver for consumers to switch to a new brand, customer service experience, convenience, and consistent product or service quality drive more long-term brand loyalty. 48% of consumers say poor customer service experience will stop them from making a repeat purchase from a company or brand 40% of consumers say that inconvenience, such as a difficult return process or clunky purchase experience, will cause brands to lose them In Ireland, younger consumers are most open to AI agents The research shows Gen Zers and millennials are more willing than older generations to use AI agents to improve their customer experience by creating more personalised, or useful content. Younger generations, in particular, hold companies to a higher standard when it comes to adapting to and anticipating their needs - 61% of Gen Zers and millennials say AI raises the bar for customer experiences compared to just 32% of baby boomers. Gen Z and millennial consumers are more likely than older generations to consider the benefits provided by agents. Transparency is key to building consumer confidence in the AI agent era Despite the promise of young shoppers, many consumers haven't made up their minds on AI yet. 43% of consumers are neutral about AI's impact on their lives, whether personal or professional. In fact, many consumers feel a mix of suspicion (41%) and curiosity (43%) about the future of AI - revealing a ripe opportunity for companies to help consumers see and understand the benefits of AI agents. 39% of consumers would work with an AI agent instead of a person to avoid repeating themselves A third of consumers - even more among Gen Z (50%) and millennials (39%) - would work with an AI agent instead of a person for faster service 30% of consumers - even more among Gen Z (47%) and millennials (34%) - would share their personal information with an AI agent so it can better anticipate their needs To build confidence in the agent experience, businesses need to bridge the trust gap through more transparency. 77% of consumers want to know if they're communicating with an AI agent 56% are more likely to use an AI agent if there's a...

Alexandria (Lexi) Lutz is the Senior Corporate Counsel at Nordstrom, where she advises the company on legal matters related to privacy, cybersecurity, and AI. Prior to Nordstrom, Lexi worked for a large national hotel brand and an international food service company. She is a Certified Information Privacy Professional in the US and Europe and holds the Charlotte Business Journal award for Outstanding Corporate Counsel in a large company.  In this episode… 19 states have passed privacy laws, fundamentally altering how companies collect, share, and sell consumer data. And, as consumers become more aware of their privacy rights and how companies and their third-party vendors handle their data, retailers are at the forefront adapting their privacy programs, due diligence processes, and third-party contractual agreements to meet compliance requirements and maintain customer trust. What's more, the new SEC cyber rules place even more security requirements on retailers' relationships with third-party vendors, further complicating expectations. How can retailers navigate this complex regulatory landscape while providing the best experiences for their customers? Adapting privacy programs to evolving regulations is an intricate process requiring a company to evaluate its operations, size, and resources. No matter the circumstances, it's crucial to maintain control over consumer information and ensure all third-party vendor contracts are up to date and transparent. And as retailers incorporate generative AI into their online and in-store shopping experiences, they should take extra steps to ensure personalization, efficiency, and protection are not lost.  In this week's episode of She Said Privacy/He Said Security, Jodi and Justin Daniels chat with Alexandria (Lexi) Lutz, the Senior Corporate Counsel at Nordstrom, how retailers can navigate privacy challenges, leverage AI, and maintain consumer trust in an increasingly complex regulatory environment. Lexi highlights how these regulations — including the SEC cyber rules — impact everything from third-party vendor due diligence and contractual requirements to in-house privacy programs and consumer data sharing and selling. She also discusses the implications of generative AI in retail, maintaining that it should enhance the shopping experience rather than replace human input.
