BFFF launches specialist interest group

摘要

The British Frozen Food Federation (BFFF) has officially launched a Specialist Interest Group (SIG) on sustainability. The launch of the SIG, first announced at last year's Frozen Food Conference, has been delayed due to the pandemic.BFFF chief executive, Richard Harrow, said: "One of the consequences of the pandemic is a renewed focus on sustainability within the food industry. The sustainability agenda today is different to five years ago, and it will develop further over the coming five years. It is therefore vital we help members understand the narrative as it evolves."The United Nation's Sustainability Development Goals (SDGs) form the basis of many of the targets adopted by governments and companies, not just in the UK but globally. One focus of the SIG will be for the BFFF to develop its own policy and guidance to assist members in working towards these SDGs.The BFFF is keen to find ways to help smaller members take part in the debate and process, including discussing how they deal with water stress and might cope with the possible introduction of food waste or carbon footprint reporting.
