FFC Partnership Model
Launch of New Model
The FFC is pleased to announce the launch of the FFC Partnership Model - a fresh look at membership types in the FFC that is inclusive of all supply chain actors. The model was launched in order to create and enable opportunities for information management, data exchange, transparency and collaboration at any level and among any actor in the supply chain. Moreover, with membership categories for all supply chain actors, the FFC now supports any compliance business model: those that seek an internal audit management solution that is "bottom-up" and/or "top-down", as well as those that seek a platform to collaborate with any actor in their supply chain, including with other purchasers of a supplier.
Membership Categories
- Purchaser: Membership for consumer brands and retailers at the "top" of the supply chain, who purchaser products from the "middle" and the "bottom" of the supply chain, will continue to be offered, as it has since the FFC's inception, now under the Purchaser Category. Purchaser members who want the Audit Management Solution and Sharing Platform would join as Full Members, and those who only want the Sharing Platform would join as Sharing Members.
In addition, now any actor in the supply chain can join the FFC and use its software tools, for a minimal fee, to manage its compliance performance, and then provide visibility to its buyers and partners:
- Supply Chain Intermediary: Membership to the FFC (and use of the FFC innovative software) has been expanded to include supply chain actors in the "middle" of the supply chain, such as agents, licensees, importers, vendors, etc.
- Production Supplier: Membership to the FFC (and use of the FFC innovative software) has been expanded to include supply chain actors at the "bottom" of the supply chain such as factories, material suppliers, farms, etc..
- Service Provider: FFC will also offer memberships to any service providers, such as monitoring agencies or consultants, who need an audit management solution to manage compliance data for its clients.
- Trade Association Partnerships: Finally, the FFC will continue to offer trade association memberships, for those who partner with the FFC as a benefit to its members.
