In an era defined by transformative change and unwavering sustainability commitments, the meat industry stands at a crossroads of innovation, responsibility, and progress. CAT Squared proudly announces its sponsorship of the North American Meat Institute's (NAMI) 2023 Protein PACT (People, Animals, Climate of Tomorrow) Summit, a dynamic event that crystallizes the collective determination to shape a responsible and sustainable future for the industry.
"Over the last three decades, CAT Squared has become a trusted partner in driving continuous improvement for the processors we serve across the globe," said CAT Squared CEO Vernon Smith. "It's an honor to have the opportunity to more broadly serve the industry as it reaches to achieve its ambitious sustainability goals for healthy people and a healthy planet."
CAT Squared has played an instrumental role in shaping the data-collection process of the Protein PACT initiative. CAT Squared's expertise enabled the project team to develop an industry-tailored solution that garnered high-quality data, facilitating the creation of meaningful Key Performance Indicators (KPIs) for NAMI. The partnership extended further as the CAT Squared team onboarded reporting teams representing NAMI's most prominent U.S. members.
The culmination of these collaborative efforts manifested in NAMI's first sustainability report, a significant milestone unveiled in November 2022 ahead of the United Nations Climate Summit. This inaugural report provides an invaluable benchmark, encapsulating the industry's current status and setting a course for the ambitious sustainability goals of tomorrow.
Against this backdrop, the 2023 Protein PACT Summit unfolds with the theme "Building on Industry Baselines and Maximizing Partnerships Across the Supply Chain." The summit converges the industry's brightest minds, fostering a space for dialogue, learning, and networking. Partnerships, collaborations, and shared strategies take center stage as catalysts for industry-wide advancement.
CAT Squared's sponsorship is an affirmation of its commitment to propelling innovation, collaboration, and responsible practices within the meat industry. The collective journey towards a sustainable future for the meat industry gains traction, powered by the dedication of NAMI's members and industry peers.
