What our members say

"Once again CGF members are showing global and environmental leadership, and this latest move will play an important role in achieving wider sustainability standards in the industry. As we move away from HFC gases and towards cleaner business practices, it’s crucial that the consumer goods industry continues to lead the way and stay ahead of the curve".

MIKE COUPE, CEO, SAINSBURY'S

What our members say

"The health of the people and of the planet is the major challenge of the 21st century. We need to act now to build a sustainable future and all stakeholders must join forces to best impact at scale. I am convinced that our industry has a decisive role to play. The CGF embodies a unique platform to drive positive change through collaboration at local and global level, in order to reinvent the industry model".

EMMANUEL FABER, CHAIRMAN AND CEO, DANONE

What our members say

"We retailers play a vital role in the lives of our shoppers and food is a central part of life. Good food is one of the cornerstones of health. I am proud to see our industry, through the CGF, help shoppers better understand nutrition so they can make great choices for themselves and their families".

CARLOS MARIO GIRALDO MORENO, CEO AND PRESIDENT, GRUPO EXITO

What our members say

"The CGF sets the pace for cross-sector collaboration in many of the most pressing fields of various branches. Industry today needs to lead by example. We have to question, improve and act on the status quo in terms of challenges like plastic pollution, food loss and waste as well as social working conditions. The CGF proves that partnership creates more impact. This is what I will hold myself accountable for – fostering the force of impactful partnerships to enable better lives through better business".

VERONIKA POUNTCHEVA, GLOBAL DIRECTOR CORPORATE RESPONSIBILITY AND SENIOR VICE PRESIDENT, METRO AG

MARK BATENIC, CHAIRMAN, IGA

What our members say

“It’s important we contribute to a better life for all by encouraging a culture of prevention, and The Forum provides the perfect platform to ensure we can take positive steps as an industry and not just in our own silos”.
