"The financial year 2016 was another year of solid growth for GLOBALG.A.P., which was very much appreciated by the GLOBALG.A.P. Board.
This past year we were very busy focusing on the anniversary SUMMIT in Amsterdam. After 20 years of existence, the challenge of preparing for a response to new – potentially disruptive – trends in the food sector that are driven by new information technologies, provided an attractive theme for our bi-annual global conference:

“The Future of Farm Certi cation”.

Last year also marked a milestone through our entry into
the Business to Consumer segment, after 20 years of B2B performance. The introduction of the GGN Label and the WWW.GGN.ORG consumer portal for aquaculture products has begun to change the exposure of our global organization signi cantly. It was therefore the right timing that the Board adopted the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals."
