Brand Integrity is a system which protects the GLOBALG.A.P. brand by detecting and stopping any improper use of GLOBALG.A.P. branding, as well as any contractual issues, non-authorized certification bodies, and fraudulent certification.
The Certification Integrity Team monitors and assesses the performance of all GLOBALG.A.P. approved certification bodies in so-called Integrity Assessments. Integrity Assessments ensure that CBs are conducting their audits in line with GLOBALG.A.P. guidelines & procedures, the scheme’s normative documents, and the signed license agreement. This ensures that the same criteria and quality standards have been used on a consistent basis.
