On 4 June 2013, Mars and Unilever hosted an AIM-PROGRESS Responsible Sourcing Forum in Russia to promote responsible sourcing standards in Fast Moving Consumer Goods (FMCG) supply chains.
Over 100 representatives from more than 60 food and beverage suppliers and manufactures came together to share best practices and to agree on common evaluation methods to improve performance.
