The Groceries Code Adjudicator

The Groceries Code Adjudicator (GCA) is an independent official in the UK responsible for ensuring large supermarkets treat their suppliers fairly. The GCA oversees the rules that prevent supermarkets from unfairly demanding discounts, delaying payments, or using their buying power to pressure suppliers. By monitoring and addressing issues, the GCA helps create a more balanced and transparent relationship between supermarkets and their suppliers, encouraging fair business practices within the grocery industry.
