NSF is a proud sponsor of the Global Food Safety Initiative (GFSI) Conference, with our mission to protect and improve human health globally. 

The need to increase food production to feed the growing population has become a global concern. In responding to that need, a focus on sustainability can improve operational efficiencies, drive growth, increase brand equity, and secure a resilient food supply chain that comprises multiple players – producers, processors, distributors, and retail. 

NSF is ready to work with you to meet the food industry challenge of providing safe food while enhancing sustainability and addressing environmental, social and governance concerns. 

Our range of services from farm to fork cover all aspects in the food supply chain, including certification, audits, and sustainability services.

  • NSF Special Session: How Sustainability Can Build Resilience into the Food Supply Chain. 
     

Don’t miss the session: March 30th – 3:45 pm – 4:30 pm - Main Plenary Room

NSF is hosting a panel discussion with industry experts from the global food supply chain to discuss how Environmental, Social, and Governance (ESG) efforts in their organizations have led to increased food quality and safety, a more secure supply, and improved triple bottom lines (people-planet-profit). 

Moderated by Lisa Spicka, Sustainability Director of NSF, topics will cover ESG aspects such as climate action planning, ESG audits, strategic planning and how food safety programs complement sustainability to build a resilient food supply.  

Participants will walk away with practical examples from our panelists of food supply chain and sustainability experts: engagement tools for organizations at any stage of their sustainability journey. 

Make sure to visit the NSF booth to obtain a new NSF whitepaper – exclusively released at GFSI—about how you can adopt supply chain sustainability and resilience programs to achieve your organization’s objectives.
