Brambles’ commitment to supporting over 300 food banks around the world has been enhanced with a financial contribution to the Global Food Banking Network’s (GFN) Food Bank Leadership Institute (FBLI). The FBLI is the signature professional development event and is proven to accelerate and strengthen food security leaders’ ability to serve those who are hungry through food banking. 

This four-day Institute hosts high-level discussions and best-practice sharing on key topics such as: 

• Designing effective supply chain and inventory management
• Collecting data and measuring impact
• Advancing nutrition
• Forging multi-stakeholder partnerships
• Strengthening food banks’ capacity to serve recipients. 

In 2018, GFN expects more than 100 food bank leaders from over 30 countries to attend. Brambles’ strategic partnership with with GFN and the FBLI will help develop the effectiveness of the organisations and the people serving those in need.
