Intermarché maps its own-brand organic products using SGS Transparency-OneBOSTON, Dec. 18, 2018 /CNW/ -- To meet distributors' increasingly stringent demands for quality, SGS Transparency-One last year launched a unique digital solution allowing companies to identify, analyse, and monitor all suppliers, components, and production sites in their supply chains. The solution enables businesses to improve social and environmental risk management, ensure the food safety of their products, and boost consumer confidence. Intermarché has chosen SGS Transparency-One to map all of its own-brand organic products. Launched eight months ago, this project has already identified more than 4,200 suppliers at all levels and collected their social and environmental quality certificates. Tighter regulations and greater consumer demand for transparency are forcing companies to strengthen their tools for managing and controlling product traceability throughout the supply chain, from primary production to the consumer. "Our solution, in partnership with Transparency-One, allows us to create a detailed map of all the different entities involved a supply chain, collect and verify suppliers' certifications, and make targeted recommendations based on each supplier's control of the process. It's the most advanced solution on the market today, a new social network for suppliers," said Guy Escarfail, Vice President, Global Head of SGS Digital Supply Chain Solutions. The tool uses real-time supply chain data to identify product origins and reduce risks. Each client can review all the facilities in their supply chain and ensure their suppliers comply with regulations for product safety, sustainability, and social responsibility. "For Les Mousquetaires, quality and traceability are essential. The demand for "organic" labelle products is growing rapidly. We realised that we didn't have a detailed view of the entire supply chain for our own-brand organic products. To be able to answer consumers' questions, we asked SGS Transparency-One to set up an accurate mapping system, all the way down to primary production. We continue to make good progress and encourage suppliers at all levels to join this initiative to give our customers the fullest guarantees in terms of quality, food safety, and environmental and social commitment," said Olivier Touzé, Director of Quality and Sustainable Development at Les Mousquetaires Group.
