We’ve issued important communication for certification bodies and operations being affected by the coronavirus (COVID-19). We know and understand that the situation is extremely fluid, and changes to our existing policies and practices may be undertaken as soon as we determine they are necessary, and we will alert all parties immediately, if policies change.

Azzule Systems is inviting users and supporters to participate in a stakeholder review of an updated PrimusGFS Standard. In an effort to align PrimusGFS with the Global Food Safety Initiative’s (GFSI’s) February V2020 Guidance Document, we plan to release Version 3.2 immediately for stakeholder review instead of V4.0.

The standard documents and reports sustainability performance to buyers and others in the supply chain. The standard recognizes best practices and sustainability indicators such as: soil health, pest management and pesticide use; nutrients, waste and recycling; water and energy conservation; processing; employee relations; and environmental protection.
