VPK Packaging UK & Ireland has announced that its Desborough site has received BRCGS Packaging Materials certification and the ISO 14001:2015 environmental management system certification.
The BRCGS Packaging Materials certification, benchmarked by the Global Food Safety Initiative (GFSI), provides a framework for producing safe packaging materials and managing product quality to meet customer requirements and legal compliance. The certification for Desborough means all VPK sites in the UK and Ireland continue to hold it.
ISO 14001:2015, meanwhile, is the international standard that specifies requirements for an effective environmental management system (EMS). It provides a framework that an organisation can follow to manage environmental aspects, fulfil compliance obligations, and address risks and opportunities.
Steven Panter, quality & compliance manager at VPK UK & Ireland, said, :Achieving both BRCGS and ISO 14001 certifications at our Desborough facility is a testament to our team’s hard work and dedication. These certifications not only validate our processes but also reinforce our commitment to quality, safety, and environmental responsibility.
“These achievements showcase VPK’s commitment to delivering safe, high-quality packaging solutions while upholding environmental stewardship. We are proud to provide our customers with packaging solutions that meet the highest standards.”
