GFSI has developed a solution for them : The Global Markets Programme as The pathway to market access and certification. 3. The GFSI Global Markets Programme is a voluntary, free access system designed as an unaccredited, noncertification assessment process. 4. It considers both primary production in the field and manufacturing in the factory and concentrates on building capacity. 4

A response to business needs: a local sourcing strategy A new unaccredited entry point for small or less developed businesses that aspire to achieve certification.

11 What it means for you? For Retailers, Brand Manufacturers & Food Service The GFSI recognised standards provide effective shared risk management tools for brand protection. Convergence across shared supply chains saves money, improves market linkages and enables simpler buying. For small and less developed companies in your supply chains, anywhere in the world, there is now a tried and tested pathway to market access and certification. 11

12 What it means for you? For Governments and Regulators Business is collaboratively promoting compliance with legislation throughout their shared supply chains. Credible good practice in the private sector can provide regulatory efficiencies by prioritisation of compliance resources. The Global Markets Programme provides an opportunity to align both public and private approaches. It is a total supply chain food safety management system. 12

13 What it means for you? For Suppliers Certificated companies are more disciplined, efficient and profitable. Working within the programme will drive continuous improvement and provide a framework for a legal defence. Many buying companies support the Programme: engagement develops business and enables local, regional and international trade. 13
