Maintain records of purchasing transactions and establish a system of traceability. Suppliers/Beekeepers will be audited as part of this audit. Participate in and pass a Financial Audit (High Risk Countries).
12 The Case for Certification Customers, Consumers and the Media Consumers value clear declaration about the origins of the foods they eat, a certification program and logo approach is well understood. The media is quick to draw attention to sensational stories and paint entire industries with a broad brush certification by an independent party can counter negative press. Food Safety Legislation Verification activities under a foreign supplier verificationprogram under this section may include monitoring records for shipments, lot by lot certification of compliance, annual on site inspections, checking the hazard analysis and riskbased preventive control plan of the foreign supplier, and periodically testing and sampling shipments. Sec. 805 c. 3 FDA Food Safety Modernization Act Validate Ethical Sourcing Claims Any claim related to sourcing practices, carries little weight without some mechanism to verify the claim certification is that mechanism. Many members of industry are already making a claim similar to the Pledge and engaging in independent activities to support that claim.

Everyone starts at the same place no company is certified to date. All information is handled by the 3 rd party auditors no risk of competitors exposing information to other participants.
