Protecting your bottom line starts at the top and involves everyone
in your supply chain.
Is your corporate culture completely prepared for a food safety crisis today? Can your company prevent foreseeable mistakes? React in time? Or worse yet, withstand the financial impact? New scenarios demand new business models. Each member of the supply chain is vulnerable, so each should maintain its own internal food safety and traceability systems. These are no longer the jobs of just your quality assurance department. They are the responsibility of everyone in the company – from the CEO to the guy who packs product on the trucks – starting with you.
The solution starts and ends with dialogue.
Created by PMA, the Traceability Symposia are one-day events that bring together executives from all segments of the fresh produce supply chain for thought-provoking presentations and real-world planning, preparing companies from being the next food safety headline.
Real knowledge coming to a city near you.
With experts throughout the industry, PMA has designed a program that provides a mix of strategic, practical and valuable information on traceability:
- Interactive, educational sessions that unite decision makers
throughout the industry; - Intensive and direct discussions that result in action plans for
changing corporate culture; - Regional events that educate the field, strengthen networks,
and find gaps in the chain before it's too late; and - Real-world answers and solutions to help avoid a potential crisis.
