Our Commitment to Sustainability

Since 2018 Vitafoods has worked towards our mission to shape the food industry for optimal health, through science and innovation. The role we play within the industry and the growing interest in sustainability from our visitors and exhibitors, as well as to our market, motivate us to continually grow our sustainable efforts. 

Organising Vitafoods Asia gives us lots of opportunities to improve our impact - environmentally, socially and economically. We want to make Vitafoods Asia more responsible and to play a role in helping the nutraceutical industry improve its own sustainability through connecting people with the networks and knowledge they need to help solve the big challenges in the sector.
