As the F&B industry faces shifting consumer expectations, evolving regulation and growing digitalisation, DNV provides the independent verification required to demonstrate food safety, product integrity, and responsible business practices. From internationally recognised ISO standards to BRCGS standards, HACCP, GFSI benchmarked schemes and bespoke audit programmes, DNV supports companies in developing robust management systems that protect both brand reputation and consumer confidence.

In addition to certification, DNV delivers a comprehensive range of training services, equipping food sector teams with the skills needed to manage risk and improve operations. Training offerings include both public and in house courses tailored to industry demands, such as cybersecurity for food and beverage environments — an area of increasing strategic importance as digital technologies reshape production, logistics, and quality management. DNV also guides organisations through updates to international standards, such as transitions to ISO 14001:2026, enabling companies to stay ahead of sustainability expectations and regulatory change.

DNV enhances assurance through digital innovation, providing advanced tools that improve audit quality, traceability and decision making. Solutions such as Lumina, eCertMark, and other digital certificate and analytics platforms help food and beverage businesses benchmark performance, identify improvement opportunities and build long term resilience through better data insights.

Driven by its purpose to safeguard life, property and the environment, DNV supports F&B organisations in operating responsibly and sustainably, aligning with the UN Sustainable Development Goals and strengthening consumer trust through verified performance. Backed by the stability of the DNV Group — headquartered in Norway and owned by an independent foundation committed to advancing safety and sustainability — DNV remains a trusted partner to many of the world’s most successful food brands and supply chain operators. 

At IFE 2026, DNV Business Assurance will showcase how certification expertise, digital innovation and deep sector knowledge can help food and beverage companies navigate risk, support continuous improvement and build a more resilient future for the industry.
