BRCGSSAI Global Assurance, who has been accredited to the BRCGS since it’s inception in 1998, has 200 auditors operating in over 50 countries and delivers more than 125,000 audits and training courses to over 100,000 people each year.
With the rise of globalization, social media, and an increasingly energized conscious consumer, the food network is under pressure to prove the quality, safety and integrity of its products. A robust food safety management system, such as BRCGS, demonstrates an undertaking to offer full and transparent disclosure on its products to its customers.
To provide transparency in performance, BRCGS awards Certification Bodies with a star rating according to their service performance. This reflects the overall management of the BRCGS certification scheme by the Certification Body head office.
The rating system is contingent upon demonstrated excellence in:
- Quality of written audit reports, reviewed on a sample basis
- Compliance to protocols: How audits are conducted and reported
- Auditor registration and compliance relating to training, experience and competence requirements
- Speed of uploading audit data to the BRCGS Directory
- Communication with the BRCGS compliance team
