01:09 - I'm really pleased to be here at the Sustainability Awards.

01:13 It's a great evening and together

01:15 with the Business Sheffield team,

01:17 we're really proud to be supporting these events.

01:19 - I thought it was important to sponsor the awards tonight

01:23 because sustainability is the single biggest challenge

01:26 facing the food and drink manufacturing sector.

01:28 - Sustainability is really important,

01:31 both for the planet, for the local environment,

01:34 and also crucially, these days,

01:38 it's really great for business as well.

01:40 So we wanna do anything we can

01:42 to help support that agenda.

01:43 - And our researchers are really working hard

01:47 to find ways to make food production more sustainable,

01:51 use less energy, create less waste.

01:55 We work closely with the other university in Sheffield,

01:57 University of Sheffield,

01:59 as part of the South Yorkshire Sustainability Centre

02:02 to really drive sustainable behaviour

02:04 in the food supply chain and other industry sectors.

02:08 And we're also here

02:09 because the food and drink manufacturing sector

02:12 is the largest manufacturing sector in the UK.

02:15 So we're showcasing some of the excellent work

02:17 that's done there.

02:18 - And we're delighted to be here tonight.

02:19 We're so proud of what's going on in the region

02:21 and the fact that we can sponsor

02:22 the manufacturing award tonight.

02:24 It's really important for us

02:25 because manufacturing's got a really critical role

02:29 in decarbonising and reducing carbon emissions.

02:32 And in the next six years,

02:33 we're gonna reach the carbon budget.

02:35 So manufacturing in Yorkshire, manufacturing in the UK,

02:38 has got an absolutely fundamental role

02:40 in helping us keeping global temperature

02:43 below one and a half degrees.

02:44 And we're just so proud that we can be part of it tonight.

02:46 - The event's brilliant.

02:47 It's been super well organised

02:49 and it's lovely to be here to participate

02:52 and celebrate the success of all the groups

02:54 who are being recognised here today.

02:56 Not just the winners, but everyone else who's been involved.

02:58 And so it's been fantastic.

03:00 So thank you.
