Assurance services organization LRQA will join the Consumer Goods Forum (CGF) as a member, extending the company’s food services portfolio beyond food safety.
LRQA also builds its existing relationship with the CGF’s Global Food Safety Initiative (GFSI) to extend their reach across the food sector as a whole.
Whilst food still accounts for over 50% of all consumer goods sold, services for the CGF’s three other pillars of key focus – specifically health and wellness, supply chain sustainability and end-to-end value chain – are becoming increasingly prevalent.
One of the primary objectives of the CGF is to create a collaborative network through corporate membership of retailers, manufacturers and service providers, in order to share best practice and identify areas where collective, measurable action is required.
