Objectives
TI’s main objective is to take all suitable measures to promote the development of the transport of temperature-controlled foodstuffs (and goods), in solid and in liquid form. This shall be achieved through three sub-goals:
- Constructively contribute to policy-making: Collaborating and acting in an advisory capacity with the relevant international organizations such as the European Union, the United Nations Economic Commission for Europe (UNECE), and with the Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO), and other international organizations, while improving the industry’s image and educate about its societal value.
- Ever increase the technologies used: Increasing productivity and quality of offerings and services, improving the logistics of the cold chain, and encouraging technical progress, in particular in relation to food hygiene, environmental protection, road safety and economic efficiency.
- Provide services to members: Making sure there are best practices exchanges, ensuring members have access to a wide network of business contacts, and making sure that members are in a privileged position as regards policy-making and technologies, as compared to non-members
