Agents and Brokers associated with the supply of products are also covered under the Woolworths Supplier Excellence standards.

If your organisation is required to undertake a Woolworths Supplier Excellence audit, please speak to your Woolworths Technical Specialist to begin your onboarding process. Once you have decided on your preferred Certification Body (CB), you will need to notify Woolworths so that they may assign your audit to your chosen CB. Your CB will be able to assist you with a quotation for the audit and information on how the audit process works.
