The purpose of the initiative is to promote fair business practices in the food supply chain as a basis for commercial dealings. It aims to generate a culture change through a commitment of signatories to fair trading practices coupled with measures aimed at integrating those principles into company day to day operations and control their application.
The framework also aims to ensure that companies address disputes in a fair and transparent manner whilst reassuring the complainant that it will not suffer from retaliation.
Focus on SMEs: The framework is designed for all companies irrespective of their size. Conscious however of the administrative burden that some requirements may generate for SMEs, special attention has been given to SMEs so as to fit their specific needs.
