A Model of Compliance for the Self-Regulation of an Industry

Dr. Liz Wilks

Description

The insights shared in this book are valuable for any sector or company looking to develop and implement a new industry standard.
Ensuring proper hygiene has always been at the forefront of the food-packaging industry that includes manufacturers and retailers.
In a comprehensive abstract, Dr. Liz Wilks shares timeless insights from the results of revolutionary research that not only reviews how the UK food-packaging industry introduced a voluntary code of practice for packaging hygiene, but also developed guiding principles for companies to adopt. Dr. Wilks examines a multitude of topics that include a literature review of the food and packaging industry and practitioner insights that include survey data findings, the perceived benefit of implementing a global packaging standard, and the potential drivers and/or barriers to adoption. While providing a glimpse into how a group of key stakeholders came together in order to develop and implement a common UK food hygiene standard, she tracks one hundred companies over a five-year period to help guide other industries or companies to create their own guidelines and establish key principles for models of compliance.
A Model of Compliance for the Self-Regulation of an Industry combines careful research with case studies and other valuable information to assist sectors or companies in the development and implementation of a new industry standard.

Abstract
This research is the first of its kind in not only reviewing how the UK food-packaging industry introduced a voluntary code of practice for packaging hygiene but also in developing a set of guiding principles for companies to adopt. The insights gained from this research remain valid still today for an industry and companies in developing and implementing any new standard.
The first universal global food-packaging hygiene standard was launched together with the Institute of Packaging (the UK Packaging Association) in 2001 (BRC/IOP, 2001).
This research covers a summary of the related literature as well as the development of the standard itself. Moreover, primary research through surveys and interviews was carried out alongside the key principles for a model of compliance for companies seeking to adopt this standard. This was achieved based on two specific models—Cameron & Quinn (2006) and Kotter (2005)—to determine the readiness and evolution of the culture of selected paper and board companies in implementing this standard.
This research brings together the food and packaging industry in demonstrating how collaboration throughout the supply chain can provide an effective system for self-regulation, as well as
• provide guidelines for other sectors/industries developing self-regulatory standards. These will aid other sectors also having to develop voluntary standards to comply with government regulations.
• establish key principles for a model of compliance for packaging companies based on the BRC/IOP Global Packaging Standard. These principles will support the required growth of the global packaging standard worldwide.
