Sustainability has now become a matter of necessity, and also, for the sharpest organisations, can present new business opportunities. Currently, the challenges and solutions of specific commodity and raw material supply chains is very fragmented and therefore industry as a whole needs to take a holistic strategy to its raw materials sourcing.
The food & drinks industry must now measure the quality of their products with its environmental impacts and socio-political acceptability of the labour methods that were involved.
The Sustainable Sourcing Agricultural Raw Materials Summit will address the core issues, but more importantly approach a solution that encapsulates the business case for the food & drinks industry of sustainable sourcing.
The summit will consider how TRACEABILITY can provide assured supply chains, no matter how complex, in addition to assessing the role of CERTIFICATION and STANDARDS.
Attend this pinnacle summit and you will leave armed and ready to:
- Truly assess and understand the business case for food and drinks organisations and the impacts of sustainable sourcing to YOUR BOTTOM LINE
- Evaluate how a sustainable sourcing approach can help differentiate products within the market place and add value to your brand/brands
- Reduce the vagaries of the market assess and evaluate how moving towards a dedicated supply chain can drive out inefficiencies and help you identify potential problem hot spots to enable you to act faster and keep ahead of your competitors
- Pinpoint how you can reach through your supply chain to have true engagement of your sustainable sourcing policies, from farmer to plate
- Evaluate how you can metric sustainability in the content of raw materials sourcing for food and drinks ingredients
- Assess cross-commodity solutions for a holistic business strategy towards sustainable sourcing of raw materials for food and drinks ingredients
- Review and critique where certification schemes are heading in the face of current sourcing strategies
- Understand how traceability solutions can help your organisation attain true transparency in your supply chain
