About the Matrix
A one-stop shop
This free Matrix pulls together experience, knowledge and information on environmental sustainability in the grocery supply chain into a single accessible source. It offers practical advice, identifying the risks and opportunities that environmental sustainability, in its widest sense, presents to the grocery supply chain. The Matrix can be used to raise awareness and build knowledge, and includes links to over 100 sources of further information and best practice case studies.
Created as an output from IGD's Industry Sustainability Group, the Matrix will be of value to those engaged in sustainability, environment, supply chain, purchasing, food technology, communications and public relations. The target audience for the Matrix is non-sustainability practitioners within the food and grocery industry who need to understand sustainability issues, or those who are starting out in the area.
