PRESS RELEASE

BRCGS unveils new visual identity


and plans for 2019

• New identity signals renewed commitment


to brands globally

• Brand Reputation through Compliance


unveiled as new BRCGS signature

• BRCGS passes 28,000 certificated


sites mark worldwide

BRCGS, the world’s most rigorous supply chain assurance programme, is unveiling a new
visual identity and brand signature at the GFSI Conference in Nice (26-28 February).

With a heritage in British retail BRCGS has evolved over the past 20 years into a range of
global standards, helping manufacturers, retailers and food service companies meet
demanding quality and safety criteria.

BRCGS standards are now applied at over 28,000 certificated sites in more than 130 countries.

“Our new visual identity is much more than a new logo”

“It signals a renewed commitment to brands globally and sets the scene
for a range of new tools to help customers reassure all their stakeholders.”

“The new signature – Brand Reputation through Compliance – captures our


mission to improve brand confidence through rigorous supply chain assurance.”

PRESS RELEASE

Supported by a robust and expanding compliance team BRCGS has been at the forefront of
standards development for more than two decades. It offers the most comprehensive and
rigorous approach to standards delivery underpinning trust and confidence throughout the
supply chain.

Against a climate of rising consumer and investor consciousness, tech-enabled transparency,


and growing supply chain complexity, BRCGS is evolving so that manufacturers, brand
owners and retailers can maintain faith in their products. Developments include:

 Ethical Trade and Responsible Sourcing standard - It will be one of the first ethical
standards to achieve the Consumer Goods Forum’s Sustainable Supply Chain Initiative
Benchmark Criteria.
 Digital tools - BRCGS recognises the power of digital platforms and tools to deepen
understanding of its standards and drive compliance and transparency. With its
technology partner Trace One, BRCGS will offer access to Trace One Network and Insight.
 Gluten-free and Plant-based - In 2018, BRCGS acquired Allergen Control Group, owner
and operator of the Gluten Free Certification Programme. Under the BRCGS umbrella the
trademark now has a truly global platform from which to establish itself. Also, in
development is the first internationally recognised Plant-Based Certification Programme.
 Packaging & Sustainability - In August 2019, Issue 6 of the BRCGS Packaging Standard will
be introduced which places more emphasis on product safety and quality culture. A new
module is in development that reflects the need to control plastics in the environment.
 Food Safety Culture - In partnership with Taylor Shannon International (TSI) BRCGS has
developed an assessment of food safety culture, which demonstrates the role company
culture plays in creating an effective and responsive food safety and manufacturing
environment and the link between culture and audit success.
 Small businesses - Recognising that not all sites are at a stage where it is appropriate or
practical to adopt the Food Safety Standard in full, the BRCGS START! programme has
been developed to facilitate and encourage the development of food safety systems
in smaller sites.

Accepted and specified by more global brand owners than any other scheme, BRCGS
was the first food safety standard to be GFSI benchmarked. With 185,000 non-compliances
identified and corrected every year BRCGS is constantly innovating to create a quality
eco-system embracing digital tools, publishing, training, certification and events.
