“The standards help retailers adopt a consistent approach to the management of their supply base, form a major component of a retailer's risk assessment of its suppliers and assist retailers to meet their legal obligations. The certification of over 14,000 suppliers around the world is a clear indication of their value.”
Sean Allam, Head of Product Sourcing at John Lewis, said:“John Lewis has always strived to minimise the risks in its supply chain for its customers and as such has supported the BRC in the development of the consumer products standard. By working together I believe manufacturers and retailers can significantly improve the safety and consistency of product.
“Not surprisingly suppliers, as we have seen in the food industry, are reluctant to invest in multiple standards and approval schemes so it's essential that the industry sets minimum standards that can be universally supported and applied.”
Registration of their certification on the BRC database enables suppliers to promote their technical credentials to potential new customers.
