A Team Built for Real-World Food Safety

Certima’s team includes auditors, trainers, and certification business professionals based in the Netherlands and across Europe.

We speak multiple languages, understand the global dynamics of the food supply chain, the international and local food safety regulations, and bring practical experience from working inside the food industry.

What makes us different is our approach. We don’t just check boxes or quote standards. We listen, observe objectively your food safety system and explain in detail our findings to help you understand where your points of improvement are. Through the mechanism of non-conformities and corrective actions, we guide you to the root causes and we give you feedback on whether the measures you have planned to eliminate them would be effective.
 
Whether we’re planning your audit, reviewing corrective actions, or answering questions before or after certification, we keep the process clear and respectful.

Competence and Experience You Can Rely On

All Certima auditors and trainers are qualified professionals trained in IFS and BRCGS standards. They have a significant background in food manufacturing, logistics and retail, as operations leaders or quality managers.

Every member of our team is trained and assessed on a regular basis and a continuous competence development program is in place This way we stay aligned with scheme owners and accreditation bodies, while bringing clarity and consistency to every audit.

We focus on:

  • Consistent interpretation of requirements
  • Risk-based thinking in every audit
  • Transparency with clients before, during and after the audit
  • Calm, professional conduct in all settings
