LRQA joins Consumer Goods Forum

Professional assurance services organisation LRQA has joined the Consumer Goods Forum (CGF). The CGF, a global, parity-based industry network, brings together consumer goods manufacturers and retailers to encourage efficient business practices that benefit shoppers and consumers.

“Our collaboration with the CGF will play a major role in allowing LRQA to strengthen our existing food sector credentials,” said John Rowley, managing director, LRQA & LR Inspection Services.

One of the primary objectives of the CGF is to create a collaborative network through corporate membership of retailers, manufacturers and service providers, in order to share best practice and identify areas where collective, measurable action is required. Commenting on this announcement, Peter Freedman, managing director of the CGF, said, “We are delighted to welcome LRQA as a member of the Consumer Goods Forum. They are an important player in the consumer industry and have been strong supporters of the CGF’s Global Food Safety Conference for many years. We now look forward to deepening and broadening our collaboration in pursuit of building consumer trust in our industry.”
