Reset the Table is a Common Ground Initiative Championed by The Food Group (TFG). Common Ground was created to support a Sustainable Development Goals Program. Of the seventeen goals, Sustainable Development Goal 5 (SDG 5)is all about ensuring gender equality and empowering women and girls everywhere.Each WPP agency is working on a gender equality related cause that is meaningful to them—all with a common goal of eliminating gender inequality by 2030. As a WPP agency that specializes in food and drink, The Food Group immediately recognized the opportunity to address gender equality within the foodservice industry.

“We want to help women overcome common challenges so that they can focus on what’s important. The impact of gender equality spans many issues from industry advancement due to financing and opportunity, to healthcare and paid parental leave,” said Mark Cotter, CEO, The Food Group. “We’ve identified like-minded organizations to help us create an industry resource we hope will empower women to take risks and further their careers. As an industry, we need to work together to facilitate real change and support females throughout foodservice.”
