GREEN SUPPLY CHAIN AWARDS 2011
Eco-aware companies recognised at 2011 Green Supply Chain Awards
Top companies were once again recognised and rewarded for their efforts in greening their supply chains at the third annual Green Supply Chain Awards, which took place on 26 August 2011 at the offices of the Consumer Goods Council of South Africa (CGCSA) in Randburg. The awards are a joint initiative of the Chartered Institute of Logistics and Transport: South Africa (CILTSA), the CGCSA and Supply Chain Today magazine. The awards are traditionally divided into three categories: Industry Leader, Best Project and Best Product.
Consumer Food Safety and Product Recall
The latest outbreak of a particular strain of E. coli (a certain type of bacteria) has placed focus on the South African Food Supply Chain’s ability to conduct a successful product recall. This E. coli outbreak is responsible for the unforeseen event in Germany and should be taken seriously as it has had an adverse effect on consumer health and can cause illness.
A recall guideline has been compiled by Food Safety Initiative (FSI) members – a division within the Consumer Goods Council of SA. Our members are actively participating in the South African food industry, and have first-hand knowledge regarding food product recalls.

Many Thanks.
