Reputation Management and Food Alerts

In the current context, marked by the weakening of trust and credibility of companies and their leaders, a new idea was born: Reputation is not a mere secondary issue. When a company with a sound Reputation faces a difficult economic context it has better chances of generating value, establishing better conditions for its suppliers, attracting capital and talent and building loyalty among its clients.
