By: Tom Cosgrove, Director, Industry Relations, FMI
Violence, cyberattacks, shrink and fraud are just a few issues that companies across the grocery food supply chain have allocated much needed time and resources to. Asset protection roles now span security, people safety, crisis management, and business continuity, with 90% of leaders citing security and 85% citing people safety as top responsibilities.
At the heart of these efforts are a deeply passionate group of people tasked with keeping you, their colleagues, and our communities safe. And the focus is paying off, 85% of retailers report at least some success in addressing shrink – one of the biggest concerns retailers face today.
But the industry continues to navigate heightened risks and new complexities, making it essential to remain ahead of what’s next. Every year, more and more food industry leaders convene at the FMI Asset Protection & Grocery Resilience Conference to discuss the latest in developing a crisis-ready mindset while sharing preparation tactics for critical incidents.
- Review critical new research.
- Assess safety and threats in the food supply chain.
- Identify future cybersecurity risks and disruptions.
- Elevate operational efficiencies.
- Harness technology and AI.
