Event: How Good Faith Receiving (GFR) Can Help Baked Goods Suppliers Save Money Together with Warrens, we are running a free event helping baked goods suppliers understand the benefits of GFR, how it works and how to opt in. Simply Supply Chain, in partnership with Culina and the Groceries Code Adjudicator developed the GFR programme to help chilled FMCG suppliers tackle the millions of pounds that were being deducted, without any substantiation, for alleged undelivered goods. Fast forward ten years and the implementation of GFR has been a resounding success, with 6 of the top UK retailers fully embracing the process and claims reduced by 95%. Yet, accessing GFR can be a challenge for many, we are able to help suppliers fully engage with the programme and ensure processes conform to best practice Get in touch for a link to register: info@simply-sc.com #supplychain #fmcg #goodfaithreceiving

Food Producers of Canada (FPC) is pleased to share an important milestone in what has been approximately a three year process to bring all five major Canadian grocers to participate in the voluntary, industry led Grocery Code of Conduct. Today, the FPT Ag Ministers announced that Walmart and Costco have agreed to join the Code at their annual meeting in Whitehorse. Now, with the support of all five major Canadian retailers, the collaborative efforts of the entire industry will ensure that small and medium size Canadian food based businesses can manage the complexities of the Canadian grocery market. As our industry works toward bringing greater fairness, transparency, and contractual certainty to its commercial dealings, we believe that the improved culture within Canada's food value system will ultimately benefit all Canadians. We wish to thank FPC member company Crosby Foods Limited for their significant contribution, leadership, and investment in the process of negotiation. #MadeinCanada #CanadianQualityandValue #FoodandBeverage

The Deposit Return Scheme for Ireland is scheduled to commence on 1 February 2024. Under the new Deposit Return Scheme, when a customer buys a beverage from a retailer featuring the Re-turn logo, they are obliged to make a modest extra payment alongside the retail price. The retailer is obligated to reimburse this deposit in full upon the customer's return of the empty, undamaged drink container. Retail Solutions is committed to simplifying and streamlining the integration of the Deposit Return Scheme for our retailers. Our focus is on providing straightforward and functional solutions, ensuring that the entire process is as easy as possible for you.

Retail sales in May were flat... To say the least. The recent data highlights the need for strategic innovation and resilient operations. The British Retail Consortium detailed that the UK’s non-food retail sales decrease was steeper than the 12-month average decline of 1.7% and for the month of May non-food was in decline year on year. This period of economic ambivalence is emblematic of broader uncertainties the country has been experiencing in the run-up to the General Election. The recent election offers a critical juncture for policymakers and businesses alike. UK retailers will be keen to hear positive measures from the Labour government to help boost the sector. Economic strategies may well serve as pivotal catalysts for revitalising the sector. #retail #uk #sales #growth

I was reading about Canada's upcoming new grocery code of conduct. Seems like its the need of the hour - this draft code seeks to address imbalances in the grocery supply chain. The UK has had the Groceries Supply Code of Practice in place from 2009 (though it covers only high turnover retailers, it has promoted fair trading practices in the grocery sector). The code of conduct (implementation set for June 2025) will ensure transparency, set fair commercial terms, and help in resolving disputes. #CanadianBusiness #FoodIndustry #GroceryRegulation
