Sector Committees

The GLOBALGAP Sector Committees were established by agreement of the GLOBALGAP Board in March 2006. In 2007 the SCs replaced the Technical and Standards Committee (TSC). The SC members are elected for a period of three years by their peers (Supplier and Retailer GLOBALGAP members). The SCs mostly work independent from the Board but within the policy framework created by the Board. SCs are responsible for technical decision-making relevant to their sector while supported and guided by the GLOBALGAP Secretariat to aid consistency and harmonisation. The Board finally adopts standards developed or revised by the SCs.

The SC also operates as a consultative body and from time to time may be requested by the GLOBALGAP Board to deal with any specific matters that require product or sector input.
