in the modern food industry it is critical that our products stand up to the scrutiny of our customers, NGO’s and the media. Products are now sourced from further afield than ever before, and ethical standards are continually being driven higher.

rl operates to secure the integrity of your product supply by delivering a complete range of international assurance services:
  • development of your sourcing standards
  • working with new suppliers to bring them up to standard
  • preparing operations for assurance visits
  • undertaking consultancy audits of your supplier base
  • developing complete quality systems







rl has developed a unique software system that efficiently manages the critical data relating to your supplier base.

this allows you to instantly understand your levels of compliance to existing and emerging issues, and allow you to respond to yur customers quickly and accurately.

your levels of control and due-diligence are more easily demonstrated to potential and existing customers.

this software has been developed by rl and is now used by leading multi-national food businesses to bring efficiency to this aspect of their businesses.
