 Greetings Colleagues,
We hinted last month that we had planned exciting new developments for 2010.
You remember our first was to expand our regional initiatives to include Washington State and Hawaii. Here's another.
This month we're introducing our Preferred Partner Program. Like any business, it starts with the right people. Therefore, our first Preferred Partners are Kinsa and their on-line cousin, Ihobnob, both are professional recruitment and placement services specific to our food, beverage and agri-products supply chain. We know finding and keeping the right people is paramount to your business and we hope through our new partnership - this is just one more way we will facilitate sustainable business for you. Of course GFC members will be eligible for preferred pricing, so if you haven't already - please sign up for your 2010 membership.
As always, thanks to those of you who drop a note after our January issue. While our mission is to facilitate sustainable business through collaboration, we never lose sight that means people. Hearing the latest from you helps us stay on track with your business and business needs.
Stay tuned - we have big news in March. In the meantime, don't forget to .....
Connect. Communicate. Collaborate. |
We're not sure there is a more timely or overwhelming topic for our
sector then food safety and social responsibility. In fact, at the
recent Seafood Choices Sustainability Summit in Paris, it was screaming
clear that institutional buyers and their consumers are asking hard
questions about the entire life cycle of the product. Sitting next
to Andrew Turner of Trace Register, we watched buyers repeatedly
address their strategic plans. It was clear they were mobilizing
with policies that were no longer a one-issue solution. They were
developing comprehensive solutions that were data driven. I was
curious to know what Trace Register brought to the marketplace to meet
an ever growing list of must have's. Here is a Q/A with Andrew Turner,
VP of Trace Register and an international tracing solutions company.
