OPINION: Our goal is to make your supply chain sustainable – James Bielby, chief executive, FWD

What kind of year is it going to be? Already this decade we’ve had the year of the lockdown, the year of product shortages and the year of inflation. What will the one-word summary of 2023 be? 

We think that word will be ‘sustainability’. For wholesalers, this should be the year they focus on the creation of a sustainable, energy-efficient food supply network that meets the expectations of the government and your customers. 

Now the Covid-19 pandemic dust has settled, and with the added incentive of high energy and fuel costs, it’s time to re-focus on that goal.
