Walgreens Boots Alliance a leading sponsor of Milan World's Fair's USA Pavilion

The Walgreens Boots Alliance said on Wednesday that it is a key sponsor of the USA Pavilion at the Milan World's Fair, which runs through Oct. 31.

Expo Milano 2015's theme is “Feeding the Planet, Energy for Life," and the fair aims to spotlight how countries produce healthy, safe and sufficient food for everyone while respecting the planet.

“The USA Pavilion at Expo Milano 2015 will show how feeding ourselves engages a massive infrastructure and dynamic systems that touch on just about every aspect of the world we live in,” Douglas Hickey, commissioner general of the USA Pavilion at Expo Milano, said. “Each step from farm to table reflects a set of connections that impact our identities and shape our future, and we are pleased to partner with Walgreens Boots Alliance as a successful enterprise dedicated to improving people’s lives.”

The USA Pavilion, the theme of which is “American Food 2.0: United to Feed the Planet,” is intended to showcase the United States’ role in the future of food around the world. Additionally, the event is designed to foster a global conversation about the task of nutritiously and sustainably feeding a planet that will contain 9 billion people by 2050.

Walgreens Boots Alliance also will have a space set aside to showcase the drugstore chain's retail, service and product offerings.
