Etivoet grows from BRCGS A+ to AA: recognition for everyday quality
Last year, Etivoet achieved a strong BRCGS A+ score. This year, we are taking things one step further: we have grown to BRCGS AA certification.
And we are proud of that.
Not because there is now a new certificate on the wall, but because this upgrade confirms what happens on our work floor every day. From production to quality control, from purchasing to delivery: at Etivoet, quality is not a final check. It is a way of working.
For our customers, this mainly means certainty. The certainty that their labels are produced in an environment where food safety, hygiene, traceability and compliance are taken seriously. Not only during an audit, but every single day.
What is the BRCGS certificate?
BRCGS stands for British Retail Consortium Global Standards. It is a globally recognised certification system focused on food safety, product quality, risk management and hygienic production processes.
The standard was developed in collaboration with leading retailers, manufacturers and certification bodies. Today, it is an important reference within the international food industry.
A BRCGS certification shows that an organisation meets strict requirements regarding:
- hygiene and food safety
- traceability from raw material to finished product
- risk management and continuous improvement
- legal compliance
From A+ to AA: why this upgrade matters
Achieving certification is one thing. Strengthening it year after year is another.
The step from A+ to AA shows that we have further refined our quality approach. Our processes were once again critically reviewed, checked and confirmed by independent auditors.
Our entire operation was assessed: from incoming raw materials and production planning to hygiene, traceability, quality control and delivery.
The result is a score we are proud of as a team.
“This upgrade from A+ to AA is a wonderful recognition for everyone at Etivoet. It shows that quality here does not depend on one person or one inspection, but is supported by the entire team.”
– Frederik Voet
Why is BRCGS important for our customers?
Especially in sectors such as food, beverages, pharmaceuticals and cosmetics, the BRCGS label is essential. Our customers choose Etivoet because they:
- want certainty about the safety of their packaging
- expect legal compliance
- prefer working with certified partners
- rely on transparent, verifiable processes
BRCGS certification not only strengthens our credibility, but also gives our customers peace of mind and a competitive advantage.
How do we put this quality label into practice?
At Etivoet, quality assurance is not a snapshot. It is a continuous process. We invest in:
- quality assurance systems with daily internal checks
- employee training on hygiene and traceability
- environmentally friendly and compliant raw materials
- collaboration with certified suppliers
Our packaging solutions are therefore 100% compliant, safe for food contact and fully traceable at every step of the chain.
