Short answer
BRCGS is a globally recognised standard for product safety and quality. Our BRCGS Storage & Distribution certification covers how packaging is stored, handled, traced and dispatched, which is why food, drink, pharmaceutical and retail supply chains ask for it during supplier approval.
What the standard actually audits
- Hygiene, pest control and housekeeping across the storage areas.
- Traceability, so a batch can be identified and recalled if needed.
- Segregation of goods to prevent contamination or mix-ups.
- Documented procedures, staff training and management review.
- Site security and controlled goods-in and goods-out processes.
Why procurement teams ask for it
If you supply into food, drink or pharma, your own audit depends partly on your suppliers. A BRCGS-certificated packaging supplier shortens supplier approval, gives you audit evidence on file, and reduces the chance of a non-conformance traced back to how your boxes were stored.
Getting the paperwork
Our accreditations page holds our current certificates alongside FSC chain of custody (licence C214479) and Verified Carbon Standard. If your auditor needs a supplier pack, ask and we will send it the same day.
