Mission Statement
To act as a focal point and clearinghouse for international topics, experiences and concerns. This TC will foster close working relationships with other ISBT Technical Committees.
Typical Duties
To recognize, discuss and disseminate global based information/data on new technologies, innovations and other international learning to the ISBT membership and technical committees.
Areas of Interest
Innovations and Technology - worldwide focus on 1) innovative products, packaging, equipment and processing technology and 2) technical/scientific developments.
Beverage Operations — worldwide experience and issues addressing production, processing, operations and environmental / regulatory affairs.
Up-Date of Key Issues
Committee members have identified the following key "Global" issues as important to the Society.
- Environmental and scientific issues - Today's concerns (hot)
- Committee's focus on needs of "International" members
- Training - a critical need world-wide
- Use of supply chain philosophy internationally. Example: is there an interest or need to use a global co-op to buy packaging and ingredients. Since the suppliers are global, why not make the "Bottler" global
