Quality and food safety policy

In the current environment of economic difficulties and increasing demands, customers require ever higher levels of safety, quality, and regulatory compliance. This is further reinforced by a changing global context that requires agility, responsibility, and commitment across the entire organization.

SCENTIUM Management, as part of the CRODA group, has translated this reality into the formulation of an Integrated Quality and Food Safety Policy, reflected in the design and implementation of a Management System in accordance with FSSC 22000, ISO 9001 and other applicable regulatory requirements, in order to ensure safe, authentic, legal products of the highest quality. The objectives established by the organization are measurable, periodically evaluated, and aligned with this policy.

SCENTIUM FLAVOURS, S.L. establishes the following fundamental principles:

• The involvement and continuous training of all CRODA group employees, which is key to strengthening a food safety culture based on safe values and behaviors.
• The quality and safety of each employee’s work have a direct impact on the satisfaction of customers and affiliated companies, extending our commitment throughout the entire supply chain.
• The individual responsibility to comply with technical, legal, customer requirements and deadlines in order to guarantee safe, authentic, legal, Halal and Kosher products.
• Continuous readiness and adaptability to change, adjusting to new regulations and emerging risks that affect food safety.
