All BRCGS certificated sites, regardless of certification standard, have exclusive access to the following tools to support the maintenance of their certification and help with continuous improvement:
The BRCGS Directory
The BRCGS Directory is the official database of all BRCGS audits. It is a global ‘shop window’ when it comes to brands and specifiers looking for competent and trusted suppliers. This Directory listing not only maximises a certificated sites online exposure, but it also allows them to share audit documents with customers, retailers, manufacturers, suppliers, brand owners and other specifiers.
BRCGS Technical Support
BRCGS provides support to certificated sites all year round, not just at annual audit. The BRCGS Technical Helpline provides quick and easy access to BRCGS experts.
B2B Licence to use the BRCGS Brand
Certificated sites are provided with a B2B licence to use the BRCGS brand to demonstrate their credentials and to support marketing efforts. This is their 'license to trade' as BRCGS is widely recognized and accepted by 70% of the top 10 global brands.
