Online, September 8, 2010 (Newswire.com) - (SAN DIEGO, CA) - Food & Drink Digital, a top digital media source for global food and drink news and information reaching over 155,646 C-Level executives and more than 49,814 companies worldwide, announces the launch of its September issue.
The September cover story discusses how ethics affect customers' choices. Consumers are becoming more aware of the impact that their purchases can have on the environment, on animal welfare, and on the conditions of workers in the food industry. This has led to problems for some manufacturers facing boycotts for perceived unethical behaviour, but it has also opened up huge potential opportunities for companies with strong ethical credentials.
Green Supply Chains entail customers that are increasingly demanding that their trading partners become more socially responsible with respect to the environment. If a company's products and/or practices aren't "green" enough, trading partners and consumers may seek alternatives. An important example - the various initiatives announced over the past year by Wal-Mart, including merchandise green tags supplied by their vendors.
This month's franchising article delves into critical mass and how it applies to the franchisee as well as the franchisor, and there are operational advantages, too.
The Top Five Global Catering Venues looks at some of the most prestigious catering venues around the globe.
