The Australian Institute of Food Science and Technology (AIFST) presents: Who’s Responsible?
Do you know what you need to do within an FMCG company to manage risk, compliance and enforcement? Do you understand your corporate/company versus individual governance responsibilities?
On Tuesday 8 September, AIFST and the Australian Food and Grocery Council (AFGC) will hold a one-day seminar in Sydney for managers, directors and officers of FMCG companies to better understand their risk, obligations and requirements as part of the AIFST Continuing Professional Development Program.
Attendees will hear from key industry and regulatory bodies and associations including the AFGC, NSW Food Authority, Suncorp Bank, the ACCC and AIFST providing practical and applicable advice to those in senior positions or directors and board members.
CEO of AIFST Georgie Aley said the seminar program has been designed to provide managers, directors and officers of FMCG companies the crucial information they need to better manage business risks.
“From compliance and governance through to brand and reputation, knowing your risks and how to navigate them as a senior food industry leader is essential to business success and sound governance. During this one-day seminar, Australian food industry leaders will share their insights and give practical advice to help senior executives and directors navigate their requirements, obligations and liabilities.
“Importantly, the seminar will provide attendees with the information they need to develop and implement plans to mitigate personal and business risks. It will also be a great opportunity to network with other business leaders and share experiences,” said Ms Aley.
