To ensure this, we ensure the highest standards in all steps of our production process. By auditing our suppliers we already ensure the quality of the raw materials, produce with our qualified personnel under strict quality conditions and ensure the accustomed product quality on the consumers' plates through adequate packaging and delivery. As a food producer, we have a responsibility not only to our customers and end consumers, but also toward the environment. For this reason, quality also means ensuring a responsible approach to the environment and resources. Furthermore, as a family business, we consider ourselves responsible for our (long-term) employees as well as for the region around our company site in Ostbevern. Our certificates In order to offer you a consistently safe and high quality end product, we have ourselves regularly certified: DIN EN ISO 50001 The DIN EN ISO 50001 is a globally valid standard of the International Organization for Standardization (ISO), which is intended to support organisations and companies in establishing systematic energy management. Certification is carried out by an accredited certification organisation. Our energy management system facilitates reducing our energy consumption and, as such, costs, and helps us to use the required energy more effectively. The aim is continuous improvement and reduction of CO² emissions. Certified location: Germany Social standards – SMETA SMETA stands for Sedex Members Ethical Trade Audit and is one of the most widely used audit concepts for corporate social responsibility worldwide. The SMETA audits focus on working conditions and occupational safety, as well as on topics such as environmental management and business ethics temporary work and respect for human rights. Certified location: Germany QA – Quality and safety The QA system is a quality assurance system that guarantees comprehensive control of the entire food chain at all stages of production - starting with feed production. The test criteria include, as a minimum, the statutory regulations, but in some areas, such as animal welfare and animal health, the criteria also exceed these. The consumer receives a transparent product life cycle from "farmer to shop counter". Certified location: Germany Without genetic engineering The "Without Genetic Engineering" seal identifies foodstuffs whose manufacture does not involve the use of genetic engineering processes. This guarantees that no genetically modified ingredients have been used in these certified products and that only feed without genetically modified plants has been used. Furthermore, unintentional mixing can just about be ruled out. This way, through their purchasing behaviour, we contribute toward consumers being able to take a decision in favour of GM-free agriculture. Certified location: Germany Beter Leven seal The Beter Leven seal of the Dutch animal welfare organisation Dierenbescherming is awarded to manufacturers of poultry and meat products who comply with particularly strict requirements for the protection of animals, already starting at the rearing stage. Here, for example, the size of the stables, the number of animals/m² and the fattening period are taken into account. VOSSKO currently has the certification for "Poultry 1 Star". Certified location: Germany BRC Global Standard for Food Safety In the English-speaking markets, certification according to the BRC Global Standard, which is recognised by the Global Food Safety Initiative (GFSI), is often required for foodstuffs. A prerequisite for successful certification is the implementation of a hazard analysis and critical control points, documented quality management and proof of hygiene conditions. VOSSKO do Brasil currently complies with the BRC Standard (grade A). Certified location: Brazil Food safety and food quality: IFS Food IFS Food is a recognised GFSI standard. It was developed to ensure that the requirements for food safety and quality, but also the legal requirements in the country of destination of the products, are met. VOSSKO has been IFS certified without interruption since 2003 and has always achieved higher levels as a result! The audit has been performed, unannounced for several years and is carried out over several days. Certified locations: Germany and Brazil Adaptation to meet customer needs: Halal certification Since 2014, our Halal certification by HCG/HQC has allowed us to produce convenience products that are permitted by the rules of Sharia. In the production of these certified products, only raw materials that have been previously tested and classified as halal are used. In addition, strict specifications are complied with during the production of halal products. Certified locations: Germany and Brazil Production method Quality features: Safe end product To guarantee our customers the greatest possible product safety, we focus on the production of fully cooked items. All Vossko products are carefully checked, safely transported and consumer-friendly labelled in the trade and offer you high-grade convenience, consistent quality and a lot of taste. Quality check Before our products go on sale, we work with independent laboratories and veterinary authorities to ensure that our customers enjoy a high-quality and safe end product. To this end, we have both the raw materials used and finished products tested for quality and nutrients by external laboratories. In addition, we daily taste the current production in our development department. The sensory tests ensure that our products also meet the high consumer demands in terms of taste. Safe transport To ensure that our products reach the consumer in perfect condition, they are shock-frozen at -30 °C immediately after cooking and delivered whilst maintaining a continuous cold chain. In this way, the ingredients are optimally preserved and the product reaches the market in an "as good as freshly prepared" condition. Transparent labelling The quality of Vossko products is obvious to consumers at first glance: On every packaging, you will find proper labelling according to the LMIV (Food Information Regulation of the EU). Due to the seriousness of increasingly frequent food intolerances, we also try to avoid the use of declarable additives and allergens requiring labelling, such as soya, gluten or lactose. Employee qualification The manufacture of high-quality products requires not only perfect production conditions but also the use of highly qualified specialists who ensure that the production process runs smoothly. For this reason, for us quality starts right there - with our employees: Through comprehensive and regular training, they are able to carry out all quality-relevant processes in the company with the greatest care and to guarantee production under the highest hygiene standards. Sustainability Vossko Code of Conduct – ethical and social objectives of our actions This code of conduct describes values and regulations that help us to improve our business relationships. Our employees are required to observe these values and integrate them into their daily work. On the basis of the ILO core labour standards, we have committed ourselves to observe a number of basic ethical rules: ILO Conventions 29 and 105: No forced labour In our company we do not tolerate forced labour and reject products derived from forced labour as well as any form of exploitation. We respect the dignity and personal rights of our employees and business partners. ILO Conventions 87 and 98: Freedom of association and right to collective bargaining We respect the right to freedom of assembly and association and the right to collective bargaining in accordance with applicable laws and regulations. ILO Convention 111: No discrimination We guarantee equal opportunities and equal treatment regardless of ethical origin, skin colour, gender, age, disability, ideology, religion, nationality, sexual orientation, social background or political views, as long as these are based on democratic principles and tolerance towards those who think differently. Our employees are always selected, hired and promoted on the basis of their qualifications and skills. Any kind of discrimination of colleagues is prohibited, respectful cooperation is an explicit goal. ILO Conventions 138 and 182: Minimum age - no child labour In our company we do not tolerate child labour, we reject products derived from child labour and any form of exploitation. The minimum age for employees and workers is determined by the provisions of applicable law. ILO Convention 155: Occupational safety and working environment Occupational health and safety is an important issue for us. We ensure a safe and healthy working environment by complying with laws and regulations governing health and safety in the workplace. Managers in particular are required to provide appropriate procedures and protective measures to ensure health and safety at work. The risk of accidents and occupational diseases must be reduced to a minimum. Compliance with the above criteria is to be verified by using recognised certification companies. Before the beginning of a business cooperation and also during the corresponding contract period, this must be fully documented. Our responsibility: sustainability, environmental protection and energy efficiency In addition, we strive for responsible use and procurement of natural resources (water, energy, materials and land) in the production and distribution of our products and services. Our goal is to make a social contribution to our local community. This is done through the jobs we create and the taxes we pay. We make a further contribution in the form of monetary and material donations to the community as well as by sponsoring various associations and institutions. To reduce the consumption of resources, we have established an energy management system according to DIN EN ISO 50001. This enables us to record the energy flows in our company and to evaluate the efficiency of particularly energy-intensive plants and activities. We also record the CO2 emissions of our production with the aim of developing tailor-made measures to increase energy efficiency, exploit energy-saving opportunities and reduce emissions. Our heat recovery system is an example of already successfully implemented concepts for the conservation of resources: For example, we use the energy that is generated as waste heat during the operation of our deep-freeze warehouse to heat our office building.
