2nd Party Audit Programs
We recognize that established audit standards do not always meet the needs of businesses. LRQA has a longstanding track record of developing and delivering audit programs designed according to the specific needs of your organization. Whether it’s auditing against your own company’s KPIs or criteria, or that of your suppliers, our 2nd party audit programs can include a range of services all of which are underpinned by our technology, data and insight.
We’ve created bespoke audit programs for businesses across the supply chain, working closely with some of the world’s largest food manufacturers, restaurants and retailers to create programs that deliver transparency, credibility and build trust. Giving you full visibility across your business and/or supply chain, allowing for intervention and improvement where required, second party audit programs provide you with more than just compliance.
