Mike Barry, Head of CSR, Marks & Spencer examines the importance of trust in deciding the future success of R&D.
Consumer and societal confidence in science appears to be at a low ebb after a succession of food, medical and financial scares. Mike will look at how better linkages between scientists, regulators, retailers and consumers can help re-build confidence in science and its application in the UK. He will look at how trust is becoming as important as the technology itself in deciding whether R&D succeeds in the future. He will use case studies involving chemicals and RFID to explore new approaches to building confidence in science from laboratory to marketplace.
Mike Barry is Head of Corporate Social Responsibility at the UK retailer Marks & Spencer. He is responsible for co-ordinating the company's journey towards a more sustainable business model. He provides the vision and the energy to affect change and ensure a leading but efficient approach to sustainability across the company.
