16. True Sustainable Development = consumer needs
Environmental
A business
needs to sell to
Economics
consumers to
pay the supply
SOCIAL chain – if not
the social part
of that supply
chain cannot
be supported
16
17. and Sustainability cannot ignore consumer economics
“Many of us think that we have the right answer to Sustainability . We do
and we do not – we only have part of it at any given time.
Sustainability will always have many interpretations – there is no one way.
That is why we call it Sustainable Development - there is NO end point.
It is a continuous development process – and in fact, it started decades ago.
Our industry and the whole planet, in other sectors, is still learning the
‘what’ and the ‘hows’ of becoming more ‘Green’ .
The trick is to be part of a Sustainable Development Programme that does
not become unaffordable – the consumer always pays. If it becomes too
costly, too fast – they will reject it and our economic ability to support the
supply chain that is meant to feed them breaks down”. Peter Hajipieris

food & fish standards
has always been based on
phases

start of ‘standards development’
Drying – Salting – Smoking - Pickling
but consumers wanted ‘freshness, taste & nutrition’
