This new workshop follows the launch of the FEA Embodied Carbon Hub and guides earlier this year and will deliver up-to-date content covering the topic in much more detail than before.
Embodied Carbon has been a hugely significant issue for the foodservice equipment industry throughout 2025, as increasing numbers of consultants, operators, specifiers and designers have needed embodied carbon figures to make informed decisions about the sustainability of their equipment.
The FEA says Operational Carbon is equally important and in general, the industry needs to continue the good work carried out to date in reporting carbon emissions of catering appliances.
In response to this FEA has developed the workshop, called ‘Navigating the Carbon Landscape: Understanding Policy, Pressure and Potential for the Foodservice Industry’.
Luke Slater, FEA’s technical and policy director, said: “We developed this workshop so attendees will leave feeling confident in their understanding of carbon reporting, why we as an industry need to respond, how to respond, as well as providing them with the tools to determine what's best for their business.
“We urge members to attend this session, regardless of their current position on the topic. There may be information contained within the presentation that you have not heard before, and there will be time to ask individual, as well as breakout discussion group questions.”
The sessions will run between 9-1pm, with tea and coffee provided. These Embodied Carbon workshops will be delivered across England at:
- 15th January 2026 – Meiko’s headquarters in Slough, Berkshire
- 23rd January – Parts Town in Cannock, Staffordshire
- 5th February – Victor Manufacturing in Keighley, West Yorkshire
