A Shared Passion for Halal Excellence
The fast-growing global halal market is supported by strong economic fundamentals. Success in the halal industry requires embracing a halal excellence philosophy. The pursuit of halal excellence is a process—one that encompasses the entire supply chain and value chain. To realise end-to-end halal supply chains, collaboration is key. Our founders identified horizontal collaboration as the missing link in the halal industry. This led to the creation of the HSC Alliance.

CEO Message
The halal industry is fast growing industry, with halal requirements moving away from a product approach towards a supply chain and value chain approach.
End-to-end halal supply chains are unstable and halal integrity performance unpredictable, due to different halal supply chain practices or lack of any halal practices (like in sea freight, airfreight, and e-fulfilment). This is a problem for the Muslim consumer (demanding products that are unquestionable halal), brand owners (protecting their halal supply chain integrity and corporate halal reputation in OIC countries), halal certification bodies (protecting their halal logo), and Governments (proving access to halal products for their population).
HSC Alliance has been founded with the purpose to create an international halal supply chain network, harmonise halal supply chain protocols, and promote halal supply chain excellence. We work together with brand owners, retailers, transportation and logistics industry, halal certification bodies, governments and other key stakeholders to realise end-to-end halal supply chains.
With a shared passion for halal excellence, together we build an international halal supply chain network.
