Global trends, the demands of stakeholders and different market trends constantly present new challenges to companies in the food sector and their supply chains.
These companies increasingly see themselves forced to deal with the threat climate change poses to the food system, the rapidly growing global population and the rise of the middle class in developing countries. Aging populations in the more developed countries, the trend towards urbanization and technological progress all present companies with further obstacles. Globalization has an additional impact on the already complex supply chain, and food-sector companies are exposed to growing environmental and social pressure.
We are here to provide you support in meeting your customers’ rising demand for safely produced, manufactured and traded food and feedstuffs! We can help your company cope with the constantly changing situation in the food sector.
Our Solutions for every industry sector within the Food Supply Chain
- You are a food producer

- Customers want verifiable proof of food safety, hygiene, environmental sustainability, animal welfare and social standards
- Without such proof, your business model will be at risk
- Agricultural enterprises have varied and complex production methods, which makes it difficult to certify their processes and products
- You are a processor of food and therefore key to the supply chain
- Nowadays, independent certification is a ticket to trade and is perceived as requirement to demonstrate your due diligence.
- You need to ensure that products meet your own quality standards while also giving customers guarantees about quality, safety, and the source of your food products.
- Falsification of food source and quality is on the increase
- The reputations of big-brand companies, retail chains, and other customers depend on the actions that you take and assurance you can deliver.
- You are a vital link between food producers and food consumers
- Your clients want maximum transparency along the entire supply chain
- You are responsible for the safety and quality of the food entrusted to you
- Your customers expect you to deliver on the promises they make to their customers on food safety and quality
- Many businesses in the food sector will work only with partners who can officially prove their high standards of food safety and quality
- Consumers are increasingly choosing foods based on source, animal welfare, environmental concerns, etc. in addition to traditional criteria such as price, taste, and convenience.
- They are willing to pay more for greater transparency
- As the "final link" in the food industry chain, retailers, catering, gastronomy and service are a particular focus for consumers
- To demonstrate high standards of food safety, businesses require recognized certification from a neutral party
