Discover BRCGS

The company was founded in 1996 by retailers who wanted to harmonise food safety standards across the supply chain. Today we are globally recognised across both food and non-food categories and operate the most rigorous third party certification scheme of its type. Our message is clear, we have the most rigorous schemes and the highest trained auditors giving you the best results possible.

BRCGS is a market-leading global brand that helps build confidence in the supply chain. Our Global Standards for Food Safety, Packaging Materials, Storage and Distribution, Consumer Products, Agents and Brokers, Retail, Gluten Free, Plant-Based and Ethical Trading set the benchmark for good manufacturing practice, and help provide assurance to customers that your products are safe, legal and of high quality. Independent research, carried out by the University of Birkbeck, demonstrates the value and economic impact that certification to BRCGS can bring.

Certification Audit Integrity

Not all schemes are the same. BRCGS invests a lot of time and money in performance-managing certification partners and has a high expectation of auditors who undertake audits of our schemes. In terms of audit calibration, our own auditor category exams, education, work experience, professional qualification, audit training and experience is the gold standard in third-party auditing.
