GFSI's Call to Action on the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) for World Food Safety Day 2022

GFSI needs your input for the next World Food Safety Day on 7th June!

The GFSI Conference launched a call to action to further embed the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) into the food safety ecosystem with the overall goal to provide a shared blueprint for peace and prosperity for people and the planet, now and into the future.

For World Food Safety Day 2022 on 7th June, GFSI wants to hear from its community via this online survey about what the food industry and GFSI can do to further support the SDG agenda by 2030.

We have identifed some SDGs and associated food safety topics in the sustainability agenda in the table below, which will help you when answering the survey.

United Nations SDGs	Area covered	Impact on food safety
Goal 1 No poverty Goal 2 Zero Hunger	Food security and end of poverty	Food security and the end of poverty cannot be achieved without safer food, for which capacities must be strengthened through the FSMS of FBOs everywhere, providing safer food and market access.
Goal 6: Good water and sanitation	Water Safety	Keeping water safe while increasing water re-use.
Goal 12: Food waste and management of chemicals	Plastic recycling Food Waste	Maintaining food safety while keeping control of the contaminants that come from plastic recycling (closed loop, non-food grade, labels, inks etc.) Maintaining food safety while reducing food waste

The outcomes of the survey will be broadcast in a dedicated GFSI webinar on 7th June so please stay tuned! Thank you for your participation.
