Integrating the legal and ethical aspects of business into the operation of a food import company, such as Bigfood blue white.
Being knowledgeable about the legal and ethical considerations in business has never been more imperative than it is today. In the global market, especially as a food importer, ethics and legality not only define your company in the short term, they also place your company in good standing with the public long term. Bigfood blue white is a company involved in food importation and export of a wide variety of products on a global basis. Food importation is a tricky business, one that if executed improperly, can land your company in a legal position that may destroy the reputation of your company and your relationship with manufacturers abroad. As a company that has been around for a while now, we understand how important knowledge around the legalities and ethical expectations of the food importation business are. With the goal of establishing a long-lasting reputation in the eyes of not only our customers but also the legal practices surrounding food importation, we have established this article to provide you with the basics when it comes to legal and ethical matters directly related to food importation.
Compliance with the law is a fundamental aspect of food importation. Regardless of if you are a large business like Bigfood blue white, or a small food boutique exportation company, you must understand the government policies surrounding importing. Obviously, the lack of legal compliance can mean any of the following: Even if you are very good at knowing the general aspects of legal compliance, it’s vital that you have a specific knowledge of what is required, not only in your home country but where you are exporting to.
In general, the job of an international food importation company is to act as a custodian of quality, sourcing only the best in food, and maintaining an atmosphere of legality and ethical practices. This means that legal compliance is about much more than just adhering to government regulations. It also means being aware of the laws governing the country you are exporting to. For example, ADAMA, an Israeli company dedicated to the sale and exportation of agricultural products, now requires hardly any compliance with laws at all. However, there are still many different legal situations at work in Israel that must be complied with, and as the importer of goods, you may be held accountable for anything that happens in a negative fashion with those goods.
Socially responsible sourcing means ensuring that you partner only with those businesses who are just as responsible as you are. For Bigfood blue white, this means doing the following: By following these steps, you ensure not only that the food you import into your country has met a level of quality that is high enough to serve in your business, but you also develop ethical partnerships with those companies abroad. A lack of ethical practices when doing business with another country can be disastrous. For Bigfood blue white, our goal is to develop the very best partnerships with manufacturers abroad, primarily so that we can continue to provide a high standard of quality in every product we import.
