Summit Overview
Summit Objective
PAC and CCGD have collaborated to advance two relevant and critical initiatives: packaging for sustainability and food safety.
Why should you attend?
At this summit Canadian, American and International retail and packaging community supply chain leaders will assemble to share knowledge, advance awareness and create a framework for successful implementation of packaging for sustainability and food safety.
The Consumer Goods Forum – TCGF
This summit has been inspired by the Consumer Goods Forum, an independent global parity-based Consumer Goods network that brings together executives of around 400 retailers, manufacturers, service providers and other stakeholders across 150 countries.
TCGF Platform
TCGF provides a unique global platform for thought leadership, knowledge exchange and networking between retailers, manufacturers and their partners on collaborative, non-competitive issues. www.ciesnet.com
Sustainability & Food Safety
Two critical areas under TCGF leadership are packaging for sustainability and food safety.
•  The Global Packaging Project (GPP) is managing the development of a common set of metrics and language for packaging for sustainability. They will be brought before the TCFG board in November 2010
•  Founded in 2000, the Global Food Safety Initiative (GFSI) is an independent non-profit foundation and managed by TCGF.
Please join us for this important industry summit.
