LC Packaging UK Maintains AA Rating in BRC Audit: A Testament to Excellence

We’re thrilled to share that LC Packaging UK has once again earned an AA rating in the Brand Reputation Compliance Global Standards (BRCGS) Storage and Distribution audit.

Understanding the BRCGS Accreditation

The BRC Global Standards are some of the toughest benchmarks for food safety, packaging, and manufacturing practices worldwide. Achieving BRCGS certification means a company meets strict criteria for product safety, integrity, legality, and quality. An AA rating signifies exceptional compliance, with very few non-conformities.

Why It Matters

BRC certification ensures that the highest quality and safety standards are met at every step of the storage and distribution journey. Our rigorous check and control procedures provide accountability and traceability across the board, giving a clear view of our entire process.

What It Takes

Earning BRC certification involves comprehensive procedures and audits on:

  • Senior management commitment
  • Hazard and risk analysis
  • Product safety and quality management systems
  • Site and building standards
  • Facility management
  • Good operating practices
  • Personnel training and competencies

These stringent requirements mean you can trust that your packaging products are stored and transported under the best safety and security conditions in the industry.

Audit Highlights

This year’s audit was particularly noteworthy. LC Packaging UK received only two minor non-conformities, two fewer than last year. This improvement reflects our ongoing efforts to enhance our processes and uphold the highest industry standards.

The auditor praised Laura (QC Manager) for her exceptional confidence and thorough knowledge of the required documentation. In her second year leading the audit, Laura demonstrated remarkable dedication and expertise, contributing significantly to our success.

Our Commitment to Excellence

Maintaining an AA rating is no small feat and directly results from our team’s hard work and dedication. It shows our commitment to upholding the highest standards in all aspects of our operations, from product safety to quality management.

This achievement not only bolsters our reputation for excellence but also reassures our clients and partners of our reliability and dedication to continuous improvement.

Looking Ahead

As we celebrate this accomplishment, we remain committed to aiming even higher. Our goal is to maintain and surpass these standards in the coming years, ensuring LC Packaging UK remains a leader in quality and safety within the packaging industry.

Together, we will continue to build on this foundation of excellence, strengthening our market presence and delivering the highest quality products and services.
