October 2011: ten years of QS
Founded on October 13, 2001, the QS
scheme celebrates its tenth anniversary in
October 2011. Happy Birthday QS means:
Happy Birthday to more than 130,000
scheme participants in all stages in many
countries.
Each and every one of them
plays their role in ensuring that the
QS scheme is a byword for a process
culminating in food you can trust.
„With your 130,000 scheme participants, you
provide a Europe-wide service that has reduced
the level of complexity that consumers have to deal
with when purchasing and preparing fresh food on
a daily basis. Your „product“ is worldwide safety,
and your service is creating confidence. Your crisis
management has become faster and more effective,
and I would like to congratulate you on these
achievements.“
„Self-regulation on the road from farm to shop and
active crisis management are more important than
ever before - because consumer trust is a fleeting
commodity.“
On the trends, opportunities and risks of
the future – presentation at the anniversary
reception on October 10, 2011
