The Highest Safety Standards
The Global Food Safety Initiative (GFSI) is the leading organization worldwide in charge of ensuring trust in the safe delivery of food to consumers. Sigma collaborates in the development of GFSI in Mexico together with the National Agri-food, Sanitation, Safety, and Quality Service (SENASICA), and in the inclusion of GFSI criteria in Mexican legislation.
Animal Welfare Protocol
Sigma made progress during 2021 in the implementation of its Animal Welfare Protocol in Europe, designed to help suppliers strengthen their sustainable practices in animal care. The effort, which began in 2019 with suppliers committing to our new Protocol, was continued in 2021 in collaboration with Bureau Veritas, carrying out audits on pork meat suppliers in eight countries in Europe to verify the implementation of the Protocol.
Contributing to animal welfare practices in our supply chain is a priority commitment. Accordingly, certain aspects of the Animal Welfare Protocol are stricter than current regulations.
