Dear Seth J. Itzkan,
Since we last convened in March 2025, the Global Traceability Framework for Beef & Leather has moved quickly from concept to action. We’re excited to invite you to an update session on February 19th to share what we’ve built, what we’re learning, where the initiative is headed next, and how you can participate moving forward.
Over the past year, key stakeholders have advanced the Framework through pilot testing, technical development, and growing industry engagement. Phase 2 has focused on validating interoperability in real-world supply chains, developing tools and resources to support adoption, and laying the groundwork for broad uptake.
This session will be interactive and forward-looking. We’ll share and discuss:
- Key progress and early insights since the March launch event
- How industry actors and solution providers are engaging and can support the initiative moving forward
- What 2026 will unlock: adoption, scale, and market integration
- Upcoming events and opportunities to shape the next phase
Whether you’ve been closely involved or following from afar, this is a chance to reconnect, share perspectives, and help shape what comes next as the Framework transitions toward broader uptake.
Reserve your spot here, and we look forward to you joining us.
Warm regards,
Fernando Bellese, on behalf of the Global Traceability Framework for Beef & Leather
A jointly led initiative of World Wildlife Fund and Better Food Future
