PANEL: GLOBAL STANDARDS

Identify the right global standard for your company

While there are several internationally recognized standards to choose from, they are not all appropriate for every business type. Bolster your knowledge of which one best suits your company’s operations. Take away specific solutions to:

  • Assess the strengths and weaknesses of each standard compared against your company’s scope of activities and those of your peers
  • Determine whether your current certification still meets your needs
  • How the GFSI standards encompass regulations including SFC Regulations

Take back to your office actionable strategies that differentiate between global standards and SFC Regulations to improve productivity.
