GLOBALG.A.P
GLOBALG.A.P (previously EUREPGAP) is the European Retailers standard for Good Agricultural Practices (GAP), which encourages the adoption of commercially viable farm assurance schemes that promote sustainable agriculture and the minimization of agro-chemical inputs.
The European Retailers Group has created and implemented a series of sector specific farm certification standards in response to the demands of clients, retailers and their global suppliers.
Aim of GlobalG.A.P
The aim is to ensure integrity, transparency and harmonization of global agricultural standards. This includes the requirements for safe food that is produced respecting:
- Worker’s health
- Safety and welfare
- Environmental
- Sustainable land use
BSI is certified to audit the GLOBALG.A.P Fruit and Vegetable Protocol. Typically, GLOBALG.A.P audits require two days to complete and we have GLOBALG.A.P approved auditors available to conduct these assessments.
