FEA launches Embodied Carbon workshops for 2026

 

New for 2026, the Foodservice Equipment Association will be delivering a free workshop for its members building the industry’s knowledge and expertise around Carbon Reporting. 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. However as highlighted by an expert panel discussion put together by FEA and FCSI, prior to FEA’s conference in November, 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.”

 

The workshop is designed to be suitable for all businesses and will provide factual information explaining the current demand for carbon data, along with the legal landscape in both the UK and EU.  It will also look at data validation, including the methodologies, as well as considering evidence-based predictions for how compliance in this area will develop in the future.

 

The course consists of a half-day session led by Luke Slater, FEA’s technical and policy director. New information and insight will be presented, alongside breakout sessions and Q&A opportunities. This format will help FEA members to fully understand the topic and get clear guidance on how it should be applied within their businesses. The information given during these sessions will be fully factual and based on FEA’s own original research, with no bias or hearsay.

 

“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” says Luke Slater.

 

The sessions will run between 9AM and 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, and
  • 5th February – Victor Manufacturing in Keighley, West Yorkshire.
