Grocery Innovations Canada 2022 Trade Show and Conference, featuring Freightera CEO Eric Beckwitt
VANCOUVER, British Columbia - October 24, 2022 - (Newswire.com)
According to recent research by EnsembleIQ, two of three shoppers surveyed would change their primary grocery store based on sustainability practices. Shoppers are also increasingly concerned with avoiding food waste and locally sourcing produce and animal products.
Sustainability is a focus of the 2022 Grocery Innovations Canada Conference, and Freightera is featured at booth 628 on Oct. 25 and 26 in the "Sustainability Sentral" Pavilion.
Freightera contributes to reducing greenhouse gas emissions and air pollution from freight transport by redirecting shipments to the lowest cost and lowest emission transportation options available daily on each lane.
Freightera specializes in less-than-truckload (LTL) shipping, the most common shipping solution for smaller independent grocery retailers, wholesalers, manufacturers, and distributors. Freightera also manages a local sourcing directory that promotes local goods sourcing, making shipping greener and more affordable.
Grocery Innovations Canada, back in person this year after COVID at the Toronto Congress Center, is the Canadian Federation of Independent Grocer's flagship annual tradeshow and conference. According to the organizers, the event attracts over 5,000 attendees and is a platform for all things grocery: food, lighting, shopping carts, and technology, introducing a world of products and services from around the globe.
Eric Beckwitt will speak at the Interac Insights & Innovations Stage on Oct. 25 at 3 pm EST.
