CHICAGO (PRWEB) October 16, 2017
EMNS, Inc, the provider of GSQA, a leading enterprise supplier quality management and visibility application, spoke at The Consumer Goods Forum’s Sustainable Retail Summit in Montreal, Canada on Tuesday, October 3rd.
The presentation provided insight into how organizations could use technology to reassure consumers that their food was ethically sourced. The role of different systems and services to gather, manage, and share accurate data about how products are produced was discussed. A case study using technology brought the theory to life.
This presentation was part of the 2nd annual Sustainable Retail Summit which helps consumer goods companies and retailers to understand their sustainability challenges, the limitations they face and practical solutions to help address them. The Summit ended with an outlook on what the future in sustainable supply chain management might look like.
“We hope to demonstrate that there is a solution to being able to track the ethical sourcing of ingredients and raw materials in the food supply chain,” states Bill Benda, EMNS’ CEO. “GSQA’s collaborative approach to ongoing supplier certifications and inbound material quality ensures organizations can provide consumers accountability in how they source their goods.”
“Interoperability is key to achieving the required level of transparency needed by companies to operate effectively and meet changing consumer demands. Core to the CGF’s value proposition is bringing different actors together to discuss solutions to today’s most pressing challenges. We are grateful to EMNS for being part of our Sustainable Retail Summit and for helping to demonstrate how technology – applied and turned into an enabler - offers many ways to support sustainable supply chains globally,” added Ruediger Hagedorn, Director, End-to-End Value Chain & Standards Pillar of The Consumer Goods Forum.
