How These Whole Foods’ Sustainability Leaders Adopted Frontier Tech Before It Hit the Market

How did Whole Foods Market’s sustainability team secure buy-in for frontier food waste prevention tech before it existed? How did data, AI & internal case-making help build a credible business case?

We spend $1T a year growing food that ends up in landfills. CSOs are under pressure to act, yet scalable solutions with financial benefits are limited, with Mill being a rare exception. In this fireside chat, Mill’s co-founder Harry Tannenbaum, Caitlin Leibert (Amazon Grocery’s Global Head of Sustainability), and Cameron Crake (Sustainability Manager at Amazon Grocery), offer an inside look at how a major retailer green-lit innovation years ahead of deployment. They’ll cover: why Whole Foods signed on early and what risks and milestones mattered; how AI & visibility enabled a credible case for emerging tech; and, what CSOs need to evaluate frontier tech and move it through decision-making channels.
