Our Services

We work with food & hospitality businesses looking to transition to a more responsible food supply chain. We believe adopting responsible sourcing policies will lead to increased business value for our clients.

We conduct comprehensive surveys and in-person farm visits to assess what solutions are available for our client’s unique situation.

Policy Writing

We help clients develop actionable policy language.

Strategic Timeline

Based on our assessment and client’s needs, we build a timeline for implementation of animal welfare goals.

Implementation

Supplier Relations

Depending on the situation, we either work with our client’s existing supplier to help them meet welfare requirements, or use our proprietary network to help our clients find a new supplier.

Creative Solutions

We develop innovative, localized solutions to help our clients fulfill their animal welfare goals.

Stakeholder Engagement

We help ensure procurement strategies succeed by helping management engage both internal and external stakeholders.

Support

Reporting & Communication

We help our clients communicate and report their commitments and progress, and narrate their impact story to key stakeholders.

Supplier Support

We provide technical guidance to suppliers to transition and implement high welfare production practices, and to create competitive advantages, including on third-party certification, traceability systems, and facilitating market access.

About Global Food Partners

Our team has extensive corporate and on-farm experience developing and executing animal welfare policies and production practices. After spending a combined 30 years in the food supply chain and responsible animal sourcing industries, our founding team experienced firsthand the challenges businesses face in implementing and maintaining responsible procurement policies.

They founded Global Food Partners to help businesses navigate this complex supply chain, meet their responsible sourcing commitments, and improve both profitability and sustainability.
