LRQA achieves 5-Star BRCGS rating, reinforcing commitment to excellence in assurance

LRQA has been awarded a 5-star rating by BRCGS, a globally recognised benchmark in food safety standards.

The award of a 5-star rating reflects LRQA’s exceptional service quality that clients in the food and beverage sector have come to trust and expect. Beyond food safety, this standard of excellence is increasingly expected across all areas of risk management, including supply chain resilience, sustainability and cybersecurity.

Stuart Kelly, Chief Commercial Officer, said:

“Our clients rely on us not only for our technical expertise but also for our consistent and transparent assurance processes that uphold their brand integrity and consumer trust. That’s the standards our clients do and should expect from an assurance partner.

“We’re hearing from clients that, more than ever, businesses are under pressure to earn trust by demonstrating transparency across their operations. But putting this into practice is a significant challenge, especially when navigating shifting geopolitical factors like tariffs, evolving regulations, and disruptive technologies such as AI.

“At LRQA, we take a holistic approach to these risks – translating complexity into actionable insights that are relevant to specific sectors. So achieving a 5-star BRCGS rating not only reinforces our ability to deliver assurance at the highest level for the food industry, but also gives our clients confidence that we prioritise excellence, reliability, and holistic perspective across the full ecosystems of our products.”
