The Forums and its surroundings

“To highlight the attitude and mentality that the attendees of the Forums have nowadays. In the first editions, I think that most of us went to these Forums thinking that the organizers wanted to audit us. Fortunately, these Forums have become quite the opposite, a tool for our companies to help us achieve goals and objectives that we previously did not consider "

Salva Mocholi | Quality Department – Frutas Beltrán

"The personal relation, the idea of the Working Groups that have come out of the forums and being able to share the Best Practices. We have applied the information learned in the forums to social audits and especially to training and information for workers"

Belén Fernández de Peñaranda | Social and Environmental Impact Iberia Coordinator – DRISCOLL´S

"There is a lot to gain from participating in the Ethical Trade Forums. We all managed to go in the same direction. I think it is important that this is maintained and that it lasts over time"

Jesús Pablo Cañizares | Internal auditor – COPROHNIJAR

"For me it was an imperative need to participate in this group because our point of view, our contribution and our knowledge have to be a basis to counteract the sensationalist press and the information it transmits to our clients. I think it's a good opportunity for both the participant and the company to make themselves known and for clients to see our active participation. I encourage you to join us and let your knowledge be part of our knowledge too"

Miguel Ángel Moya | Technical Director – QPI (Spain)

"The benefits of participating in the FCE and its working groups, apart from knowing many colleagues and establishing a relationship with them within the sector, are that we work and know new situations, challenges and news that arise throughout the season that help us to know how we should and can face them, apart from sharing new concerns and ways of working from which we are learning"

Isabel Martínez | Technical Department – ANGUS SOFT FRUITS

"After the last forum (2018) we surveyed the staff on some points to find out how the workers saw the issues we had addressed"

Rosa Mª Sánchez | Quality Manager – ECOINVER EXPORT S.L.

"We learn a lot and try to make the worker's life better"

Juan Carballar | Technical Department – ANGUS SOFT FRUITS
