SUPPLY-CHAIN STANDARDS

What each standard supports.

The standards and platforms shown below support different parts of responsible fresh-produce supply. AQJ works with them across its supply chain; their presentation does not mean that AQJ Trading Limited is the certificate holder.

GLOBALG.A.P.

Farm assurance

GLOBALG.A.P. Integrated Farm Assurance is a farm-level standard for responsible agricultural production. For fruit and vegetables, it covers food safety, traceability, environmental management, production processes and workers’ health, safety and welfare.

Sedex

Responsible sourcing platform

Sedex is a supply-chain sustainability platform, not a certification. It helps businesses share and assess social, environmental and ethical information, identify supply-chain risks and support responsible sourcing.

GRASP

Social-practice add-on

GRASP—the GLOBALG.A.P. Risk Assessment on Social Practice—is a farm-level add-on focused on workers. It covers health, safety and welfare, workers’ voice, labour and human rights, and the protection of children and young workers.

BRCGS

Food-safety standard

The BRCGS Global Standard Food Safety provides a framework for managing food safety, product integrity, legality, quality and operational controls in food manufacturing, processing and packing.
