Save the date - DSF member's meeting |
|
|
|
|
Connecting members and initiatives is one of the key drivers of the DSF. For this reason we are organising a meeting which will allow DSF members to meet and and engage with each other as well as with the GDAA Governors and members of the GDAA Advisory Council.
To coincide with those travelling to the IDF World Dairy Summit in Rotterdam (The Netherlands) in October, we are planning a meeting on the morning of Friday 14th October 2016.
The session will also include specialist speakers on key sustainability topics, challenging us, the dairy community, to develop a platform for us to work together in identifying potential solutions to the sustainability challenges we are facing. |

New retailer member |
|
|
|
|
We are very pleased to confirm that Ahold has joined the DSF as an implementing member. Ahold is an international retailing group based in the Netherlands and active in the United States and Europe. Supermarkets are the core of the business. However, it operates a range of other formats and is continuing to expand its online options to serve the needs of different communities and to give customers more shopping alternatives.
Ahold’s responsible retailing ethos means playing an active role when it comes to its supply chain and the environment and we look forward to engaging with this important part of the dairy value chain. www.ahold.com |

Local problems, local solutions |
|
|
|
|
Implementing Membership of the DSF requires a management structure of key stakeholders to be established. One of these, dependent on the criteria, may be local civil society. This article looks at a project in Latin America where local communities and civil society organisations (CSOs) developed and implemented solutions to environmental challenges. |
