One of GLOBALG.A.P.’s main missions is the ‘one auditor through the farm gate’ principle, and benchmarking is how we aim to achieve it.
Harmonizing the requirements of different schemes and checklists cuts out duplication and takes the complexity out of certification. It reduces costs, administration, time and effort, with producers, suppliers and retailers all profiting from the benefits.
And by gaining GLOBALG.A.P. approval, benchmarked schemes and checklists also enjoy international recognition - a valuable advantage in the highly competitive global market.
