Quality and food safety have been central to your Company's operations for over a century. This commitment is embedded across the Value Chain, from sourcing of ingredients and packaging materials to the factories where products are crafted with care, supported through robust distribution network that ensures proper storage, handling and transportation to safeguard product quality and finally to how consumers experience your Company's products in the marketplace.

Your Company continues to invest in capability building, digital systems and quality assurance across the value chain, strengthening the trust that consumers place in Britannia. The key pillars of the Company's Quality and Food Safety Framework are given below:

Your Company recognises that product quality begins well before manufacturing, i.e., with the suppliers who provide ingredients and packaging materials that form the foundation of every Britannia product. These suppliers are selected through a comprehensive evaluation and qualification process and are required to adhere to the Britannia's Supplier Code of Conduct and Sustainable Sourcing Policy, which mandate stringent standards on food safety & quality, regulatory compliance, ethical practices and responsible sourcing.

This is supported by a robust Vendor Quality Assurance Program (VQAP) that integrates food safety and quality standards across the Supply chain. Further, periodic supplier assessments are undertaken to evaluate suppliers' adherence to regulatory compliances and good manufacturing practices, ensuring that only approved and compliant partners form part of Britannia's ecosystem.

Your Company has established robust inspection and verification systems across its manufacturing units to ensure that all the ingredients and packaging materials procured meet defined quality standards and acceptance protocols. These controls ensure that ingredients and packaging materials are thoroughly checked before entering the production process.

Your Company follows a proactive, risk-based approach to quality management across all its manufacturing facilities. Regular on-site risk assessments, structured problem-solving and continuous improvement initiatives foster a strong quality-driven culture across every stage of the production process.

During the year, technology-led interventions, including automation were leveraged to enhance process accuracy, operational efficiency and in-line quality controls across manufacturing locations. In a significant step towards strengthening in-line quality assurance, your Company deployed advanced vision systems across its factories for real-time defect identification, reducing reliance on manual inspection for critical quality checks. This intelligent system enables early detection and rectification of product irregularities, thereby improving consistency and reliability of the output. A similar technology is currently under pilot phase to detect packaging-related defects aimed at strengthening product integrity before it reaches consumers.

Your Company adheres to both National and International Standards ensuring compliance with globally recognised food safety and quality protocols. All your Company's existing manufacturing units are FSSC/ISO-22000 compliant and strictly adhere to Food Safety and Standards Authority of India (TSSAT) Regulations, which inter alia provides stringent hygienic and sanitary requirements for the food businesses. Furthermore, manufacturing units engaged in exports comply with the applicable International Regulations including those prescribed by the United States Food and Drug Administration (USFDA).

Quality for your Company does not end at manufacturing, it is ultimately validated in the marketplace through consumer experience. Your Company ensures a positive and delightful consumer experience by actively listening to their feedback, acknowledging concerns and promptly responding to them with agility and care.

To enable this, your Company has developed and implemented a robust, technology-enabled Consumer Response Management (‘CRM') system. This system is designed to transform the way Britannia engages with consumers by collecting and analysing consumer feedback through various channels such as consumer care cell, email, market research and social media platforms. It enables faster response time, more personalised support and seamless interaction across channels. The effectiveness of this system is reflected in numerous appreciation notes received from consumers for timely resolution of their concerns.

Your Company's CRM system continues to be certified with ISO 10002:2018 standards, reflecting its adherence to ‘Global Standards on Quality Management for Complaints Handling in Organisations'. This certification underscores Britannia's efforts for ensuring a responsive and efficient mechanism for addressing consumer concerns.

Further, a structured In-market Product Quality Compliance Check programme periodically assesses the quality and sensory performance of the products available in the market. These assessments provide actionable insights, enabling timely interventions and continuous quality improvements aligned with evolving consumer expectations.
