The Cold Chain Benchmarking Tool has been developed by the AFCCC in conjunction with the Australian Government Department of Industry, Science and Resources.
Regarded by industry as the best program to guide cold chain businesses towards world standard cold chain compliance, it comprises an initial online meeting and presentation, a self-directed questionnaire, and a detailed strategy consultation to ensure businesses can translate their newfound knowledge and understanding into action.
Whether your business forms only part of the cold chain, or operates a closed loop distribution, this benchmarking assessment caters for all sizes of business from small food transport companies and restaurant chains to national food distributors and manufacturers. All levels of your business can gain valuable, personalised insights to strengthen compliance, reduce waste and support the delivery of a standardised brand experience.
