- Review of your standards and assurance systems, to ensure that the language used is consistently understood by auditors and scheme users alike.
- Review and recommendations for the enhancement of assurance system effectiveness and performance.
Oversight, tools and compliance
Our expert team supports you in checking your system against global best practices and in creating practical tools that make it easier to apply and monitor your standard.
- Evaluation of your oversight system against best practices, including ISO standards, ISEAL codes and regulations such as the EU Green Claims Directive and EU Empowering Consumers Directive.
- Development of various tools, including checklists, assurance standards and guidance materials to improve the application of oversight systems.
Data and social integrity
These services help make sure your system uses data well and deliver real and measurable benefits for people and the planet.
- Evaluate your assurance system from a data perspective – data structure, management, and connections – to prepare it for optimization through data integration.
- Consultancy in the development and review of social and labor requirements in existing standards.
