As the pandemic began and took hold, PFI’s marketing team became an indispensable way to translate PFI’s strategies and values externally. In the past year PFI’s marketing team have launched numerous campaigns to communicate and connect externally with our colleagues, business partners and beyond.
1. Our virtual events have enabled us to communicate important industry updates to business partner and collaborate on solutions to new challenges. PFI Fareast has co-organised two events in the past year:
Guide to Lieferkettensorgfaltspflichtengesetz – Building Responsible Global Supply Chains hosted in collaboration with cads. Our team brought together international stakeholders responsible for the implementation of LkSG, with those it will impact to discuss the impacts of the law and opportunities to begin preparing supply chains for the shift in legislation. Prepare your Supply Chain for a new era conference launched PFI Fareast’s new collaboration with Textile Testing International (TTI) a world class, globally recognised and accredited testing facility and inspection body in Pakistan. Offering our clients, a global network of recognised inspection and testing services that combine expertise on international market requirements with local presence not only in both footwear and textile industries.
2. PFI began to share 65 years of technical expertise and internal insights on social media platforms in thought leadership articles authored by PFI experts.

3. Our contributions to international days of observation are share far and wide through our social media campaigns.
