Supporting small and medium enterprises (SMEs) is at the heart of our mission to generate local growth and strengthen communities. 🌍 SMEs provide local jobs, foster growth, and offer unique, innovative products that larger suppliers often cannot. Our global Supply Chain Inclusion Program helps SMEs navigate the complexities of working with large organizations, ensuring they meet stringent global standards while benefiting from flexible distribution networks and streamlined processes. 💪 Programs like our SME initiative in the UK and Impact+ in France offer mentorship and support to help these businesses thrive. For example, La Coopérative Bio d’Île-de-France has reintroduced organic durum wheat to the region, meeting local sourcing and food traceability requirements. 🌱 Discover how we’re making a difference through responsible sourcing 👉 https://lnkd.in/ekpDzrN8 #Sustainability #Sourcing #SME #LocalGrowth #Sodexo

Agrifood supply chains have diversified over time, molding into a multi-layered system of intricate relationships that cross borders. A complicated operation such as this can pose a threat to the profitability and efficiency of a business.

In addition, this webinar will provide some practical guidance and solutions regarding what needs to be done towards EUDR compliance as we track and trace the whole coffee supply chain. ⏰ Wednesday 29 November 2023 15:00-17:30 pm GMT UK Time Confirmed speakers include: ▶ Helge Elisabeth Zeitler, Deputy Head Of Unit Global Resources, Deforestation, Water International, Directorate General, Environment Department, European Commission - Keynote ▶ Fiorella Sanchez Monge, Sustainability Manager, KPMG Belgium -Moderator ▶ Ben Kibicho, Executive Secretary, Kenya Coffee Traders Association (KCTA) ▶ Carolina Padilla, President, Instituto Salvadoreño del Café (ISC) ▶ Dejene Dadi Dika, General Manager, Oromia Coffee Farmers Cooperative Union (OCFCU) Ethiopia ▶ Dr. Ulrich Heindl, Founder & CEO, GTS Global Traceability ▶ Rodney Muriuki, Global Sales Director, Farmforce Sponsors include GTS Global Traceability and Farmforce Register your interest for free now 👉 https://lnkd.in/eQ3sCKKF #calltoaction #coffee #eudr #compliance #deforestation #smallholderfarmers #innovation #climatechange #sustainability #geodata ##satellitedata #gps #polygon #machinelearning #finance
