Quiet day today. Went to Brussels this morning (20 min train ride) to meet with a Director from Fevia, which is basically an organization made up of the food manufacturing companies with facilities in Belgium (Mars is a member). Fevia provides information/updates to the food manufacturers in the areas of food/labeling regulations, labor relations, food quality/safety and does some lobbying as well. Because of this role, they are critically linked to helping raise awareness for the sustainable sourcing of raw materials. The information gathering phase continues... :) And on a personal note, just as their advertising campaign claims, the food here is really, really great!!
