VAI Named to Food Logistics’ 2021 Top Green Providers List

Ronkonkoma, N.Y. – June 22, 2021 – VAI, a leading ERP software developer, announced that Food Logistics, the only publication exclusively dedicated to covering the movement of product through the global food supply chain, has named VAI to the Top Green Providers list for 2021. VAI’s S2K Enterprise for Food ERP software meets the specific requirements of the food industry to help businesses automate and integrate business processes, reduce costs, and comply with food safety regulations. Applications within S2K Enterprise for Food include functionality that leads to greater efficiencies and greener computing.  

Food Logistics’ annual Top Green Providers recognizes companies whose products, services or exemplary leadership is enhancing sustainability within the cold food and beverage industry. The editorial staff evaluates a company’s participation in such programs as the EPA’s SmartWay and other recognized sustainability programs; facilities that are LEED-certified and/or feature solar panels, LED lighting and other energy saving installations and retrofits; and other means of producing measurable reductions in GHG emissions, to name a few.

"When the pandemic hit, I thought for sure that sustainability would be pushed to the wayside. But, in fact, the complete opposite happened. I couldn’t be more appreciative of the supply chain industry’s efforts in making sustainability top of mind in every aspect of their organization despite the many supply chain disruptions they continue to face,” says Marina Mayer, Editor-in-Chief of Food Logistics and Supply & Demand Chain Executive. “Sustainability is the key to success, and the recipients of this year’s award prove that when sustainability matters to them, they will continue do great things and make a difference in the industry.”

“We’re honored to be recognized by Food Logistics for the esteemed Top Green Providers Award,” said Ira Dannenberg, vice president of R&D – Food Division, VAI. “As we continue to see challenges arise within the food supply chain due to the global pandemic, having the technical capabilities to automate processes can make the difference in how food companies operate successfully. With S2K for Food, our customers have a solution that offers the functionality and automation to operate       in a way that is leaner and more targeted, reduces costs, and best utilizes every resource. This leads to greener measures within their own operations and extends outward to benefit everyone.”

Recipients of this year’s award will be profiled in the June 2021 print issue. Go to www.FoodLogistics.com to view the full list of all 2021 Top Green Providers.
