Headquartered in Cape Town, Woolworths is one of South Africa’s leading retailers, with annual revenues of $3.6 billion. The company has more than 400 stores in Africa, selling food, home, clothing and beauty products; 95 percent of these products are sold under Woolworths’ private brand labels.
Woolworths aims to grow into a large, one-stop destination for multiple food products while retaining its original vision of delighting customers with a difference. Part of that commitment involves providing superior-quality food products that deliver freshness and flavor. Its more than 8,000 long-life and perishable food products have shelf lives varying from a few hours to 12 months. The majority of the products are produced under Woolworths’ private label. Hence, the company maintains a robust set of hygiene and food safety guidelines, as well as best practices and protocols, as the benchmark for suppliers involved in producing the private-label products.
