INTERPORC: Excellence comes from collaboration
This was highlighted by Alberto Herranz, director INTERPORC in his speech at the round table 'Challenges in Social Responsibility of the production and Distribution sector' held in Lorca (Murcia) within the framework of the Livestock, Industrial and Agrifood Fair SEPOR.
Communication and cooperation between the two is essential to respond to the demands of society, said Herranz. “It requires us to comply with these responsibilities, and at INTERPORC, as representatives of the pig agri-food value chain, we are very clear that to achieve this we must be united. That is the most direct path to success for livestock, industry and distribution.”
Among those demands of society, he highlighted sustainability, animal welfare and environmental protection. Matters in which the director of INTERPORC considers "we should congratulate ourselves because not only have we made great progress, but also the entire sector is committed to continuing to improve."
In this sense, during the celebration of the round table, the representatives of the distribution and of the interprofessional livestock-meat organizations verbally promised to promote the creation of a common working group that further stimulates collaboration between both parties.
Among its tasks, two main lines of work stand out: on the one hand, improving communication, and on the other, making the entire value chain visible to the consumer.
Sustainability, the reduction of the carbon footprint or further progress in animal welfare will be other issues that will be addressed by this joint working group.
Alberto Herranz expressed his satisfaction with the results that, as a result of this collaboration that now wants to be increased, have already been achieved in recent years in the white-coated pig sector .
In this regard, he recalled that the sector has set itself the goal of achieving neutral climate impact by 2050 in line with the provisions of the European Green Deal, "a challenge equal to a sector that always seeks excellence in all its actions and which, I am convinced, we are going to overcome thanks to the commitment and involvement of all the professionals in the sector”.
