At Norkem, we are delighted to announce that we have been awarded a BRC Global Standard (BRCGS) AA grading for Agents & Brokers, with zero non-conformances.
We are sure this news will be warmly welcomed by all of our clients and partnerswithin the food and drink sector, as this certificate recognises the high quality of our work. You can be confident that our supply chain management and production processes deliver the value and excellence you are looking for.
The BRGCS for Agents & Brokers exists to provide a clear standard of product legality, safety and quality for those who act as the crucial link between supplier, retailer and customer. Norkem fall into this category, as we facilitate the trade of ambient food ingredients. By being recognised as having high quality standards ourselves, we can act as a positive influence on our suppliers. They know that we will not accept any inadequate product and so are encouraged to raise their own standards.
