Food quality and safety To bring communities everywhere favorite foods to love under the highest quality and safety standards, is a top priority.
The highest standards Our plants have obtained local and international certifications verifying their performance. Our 2025 goal is for 100% of our plants to adhere to the highest operational standards through certifications endorsed by the Global Food Safety Initiative (GFSI), the most recognized safety accreditation. Our Food Safety Policy aligns to standards recognized by GFSI and includes a Hazards Analysis and Critical Control Points (HACCP) system. At yearend 2020, we have 60 GFSI-certified plants, an 87% progress towards achieving our goal. Likewise, we employ our Global Quality Control Manual to ensure that the strictest quality criteria is applied in all our processes across the value chain. Through our Quality Policy, we include additional elements in our management such as client service procedures

Training and continuous improvement Sigma collaborates with organizations that specialize in the development of the most advanced food safety processes and technologies. For example, we collaborate with the European Hygienic Engineering Design Group (EHEDG), participating in trainings, conferences, and forums designed to strengthen food technologies. We are currently collaborating with EHEDG to draft a new global benchmark standard focused on strengthening food safety practices during meat processing.
