About this event

From Compliance to Confidence explores why food safety risk has become a boardroom imperative. This webinar breaks down the rising cost of recalls, tightening regulatory accountability, and declining consumer trust, and explains why traditional compliance models no longer protect enterprise value. Attendees will learn how enterprise-wide food safety risk optimization strengthens governance, builds resilience, and transforms food safety from an operational obligation into a strategic advantage.

At this event, you'll learn:

  • Clarify the board’s role in food safety oversight, including which risks require direct governance attention and how accountability should be structured across leadership.
  • Recognize early warning indicators of elevated food safety risk, spanning culture, decision-making, and operational behavior—before issues escalate into enterprise crises.
  • Apply practical approaches for embedding food safety risk into existing governance and risk frameworks, enabling clearer oversight, stronger leadership alignment, and more informed executive decision-making.
  • Evaluate the effectiveness of food safety leadership and culture using defined indicators, such as escalation quality, decision latency, audit signal trends, and near-miss reporting, to inform board-level oversight and performance review.
