#TPM25 has been an emotional experience so far. The special session on human trafficking with Francesca Douglass-Franco of Humansave and Mariah Marple-Sewe of Survivor Mentality Foundation moderated by Alyson Cafferky Genovese of S&P Global was a deeply impactful reminder of the broader #social #responsibilities we hold. As well, The morning keynote with John Bolton Fmr. National Security Advisor and Fmr. U.S. Ambassador to the United Nations?offered valuable insights into the complexities of global events and their impact on supply chains, a topic incredibly relevant to our work. These discussions are fueling some fascinating conversations around the future of supply chains, particularly in the context of the International Fresh Produce Association 'Supply Chain of the Future Smart Data Escrow Core Initiative.' The exploration of the data #integrity required to attest our #social claims is a key theme resonating throughout the event. It’s exciting to see so many industry leaders engaging in these critical dialogues. The energy is great here at the Port of Long Beach and the connections being forged are solid. If you're at TMP, hit me up, let's discuss how we're shaping the future of our industry. #security #integrity #socialaccountability #socialresponsibilty #humantrafficking #digitalclaims #certificateattestation #smartdataescrow #supplychain #freshproduce #coldchain #supplychainofthefuture #IFPA #transporation #logistics #data #insights #ai

The energy was electric at the International Fresh Produce Association Supply Chain of the Future Collabathon, as over 100 supply chain experts from across the globe came together to tackle the challenges facing the fresh produce industry. ??
