农商行业现代化倡议项目发布新名称Covantis
瑞士日内瓦，2019年11月
ADM、邦吉、嘉吉、中粮国际、路易达孚和嘉能可农业作为创始成员发起了一项旨在推进农商行业全球贸易运营现代化的全行业倡议，他们为项目发布了新的名称“Covantis”，并推出了相应网站“www.covantis.io”。 此举推进了该项目愿景的实现，即通过一个独立可信的数字化平台将整个农产品行业联系起来，提升所有参与者的贸易后效率。目前正在开发的数字化平台也将以Covantis命名，平台可望在获得监管部门审批后于2020年正式上线。
Covantis还宣布，项目开发阶段Stefano Rettore将以独立顾问的身份领导该项目，包括负责物色CEO的合适人员，直至管理团队到位、CEO获任。未来的实体、高管任命和平台本身均需得到监管部门的批准。Rettore在全球农商行业拥有二十多年的经验。他曾先后任ADM首席风险官和源头业务负责人。加入ADM之前，他曾在农业合作性商业机构CHS担任多个高管职位。
Rettore说，“我很高兴能够帮助领导Covantis项目，我们正在努力建立一个突破性的新技术平台。”他还表示，“Covantis提供了一条改善农产品贸易的道路，为供应链上的所有参与者释放巨大的价值。通过与业界合作，我们有机会为全球贸易建立一个更有效力、也更有效率的数字化未来。”
