Managing Risk and Increasing Competitiveness

• Extending information technology beyond the supply chain to increase competitive advantages;
• Shifting balance of power to retailers, who are driving price reductions and making increasing demands for promotional support and higher levels of service;
• Increased competition for smaller companies in an environment where scale can help ease many competitive, legislative, and reputational pressures;
• Maintaining consumer loyalty by achieving returns from ever-increasing promotional budgets and consumer demands for quality, choice and convenience;
• Preserving reputations as investors and consumer demand for non-financial information increases;
• Growing concern around health among consumers and increasing regulations, such as the European Union’s proposed law on Genetically Modified Food (GMO) labelling,

The food and beverages business is becoming increasingly complex, globally and in the UK. At KPMG, we work with a number of leading food and drink businesses to help manage business and technology risks and increase competitiveness by creating, releasing and protecting value. Our Global Consumer Markets practice provide clients with in-depth business understanding, BRC and Food and Drink Federation industry knowledge and insight, to help ensure they are one step ahead.
