BRCGS S&D
The BRCGS Global Standard for Storage and Distribution (S&D) is designed for logistics operations that handle food, packaging, and consumer products. It ensures product safety, integrity, and quality throughout the entire supply chain. Control Union offers certification to this internationally recognised standard, helping companies demonstrate compliance and build trust with customers and partners.
What is BRCGS S&D?
The BRCGS Storage and Distribution (S&D) standard is a key requirement for many top retailers and manufacturers. As part of the Global Food Safety Initiative (GFSI), it offers clear, trusted assurance that products are stored and transported according to the highest international standards for safety and quality. Certification helps protect your brand, reduces the risk of costly recalls, and enhances customer confidence. It applies across the entire distribution chain, providing end-to-end safety and compliance.
