As a global leader in testing, inspection and certification, we are proud to have achieved a number of accreditations across different sectors which demonstrate the quality, safety and accuracy of our services. Now we can add a prestigious five-star rating for BRCGS certification, another reason for clients in the food industry to place their trust in Bureau Veritas.
BRCGS is recognised by the Global Food Safety Initiative (GFSI) and accepted by retailers, food service companies and major food manufacturers worldwide as part of their supplier approval process. Our dedicated Certification team works with clients across the food industry to deliver audits to help achieve and maintain certification to BRCGS Global Standards, which includes food safety, packaging materials and storage and distribution.
To ensure transparency, BRCGS awards Certification Bodies such as Bureau Veritas with a star rating from one to five according to their overall service performance. The rating takes into account the quality of audit reporting, protocol compliance, auditor expertise and technical knowledge, overall audit experience and customer engagement.
After a significant period of growth and improvement for our food certification business, we are delighted to have achieved the highest five-star rating.
Laure-Anne Mathieu, Global Food Certification Manager, said: “This is a fantastic reward for the hard work and dedication of our entire team and we are delighted to have secured the highest star rating.
“The food industry is a huge growth sector for certification, with a wide range of issues affecting the value chain. We are confident that our team have the skills, sector experience and technical knowledge needed to help clients across the globe demonstrate their commitment to safety and quality in line with BRCGS requirements. Now, with the BRCGS five-star rating, we can demonstrate that confidence through external accreditation.”
This success is echoed by Jessica Burke, Delivery Partner Program Manager at BRCGS, who states “We are delighted to see that Bureau Veritas has invested time and considerable effort to improve the whole BRCGS audit and certification experience over the last two years.
“The performance management rating from 3 to 5 stars reflects the commitment of Bureau Veritas and we are delighted that one of our strategic partners is now operating at the highest level. The BRCGS Certification Integrity programme is such a fundamental part of BRCGS certification and, to maintain trust in our Global Standards, delivery partner performance is critical to protect the brand and the consumer”.
