Antea Group Case Study: EHS Auditing for a Big-Box Retailer

An international “big box” retailer lacked clarity of the environmental, health and safety risks in several of their non-retail business units. These businesses included a meat processing facility, a print shop, an optical manufacturing facility, and several distribution centers. These businesses presented unique risks that were unfamiliar to their safety team, whose expertise focused on minimizing retail risks. Their first priorities were to understand the risks that were present, baseline the level of compliance, and establish an audit protocol that could be used by an internal audit team in the future.

PYXERA Global and Dangote Farms Ltd. Partner to Eliminate Food Loss and Waste

Dangote Farms Limited and PYXERA Global signed a Memorandum of Understanding last week to help reduce food waste and loss in Northern Nigeria. This agreement stems from the YieldWise initiative, a partnership between The Rockefeller Foundation, PYXERA Global and other organizations to reduce post-harvest loss across Sub-Saharan Africa.

Approximately 40% of all produce is lost between farm and market in what is called post-harvest loss. Limited infrastructure and poor transportation and storage creates tremendous economic damage to emerging economies and preventable hunger.
