| ETHICS™ (International Standard for Corporate Integrity) | Criminal networks and influences impose major risks on many economical actors nowadays: total loss of independence in racketing cases, but also loss of image and confidence of clients and shareholders due to scandals or judicial proceedings, loss of money due to characterised fraud, etc.
The ETHICS™ certification is a complex product with very high added value. Being a “system” type certification (ISO classification), it applies to non-state, incorporated legal entities.
It is modelled on the series of standards ISO 9000 : 2000 and compatible with them, as well as other certifications such as SA 8000 (Social Accountability) and ISO 14000 (environment).
As a scheme of certification, it leans on the whole to techniques and standards put into place on an international level (ISO or International Standard of Organization) in order to guarantee its fundamental quality, its added value is its realization.
As such, it is a matter of a constructive approach where each step is traceable, controllable and may be repeated. The certification process integrates the principle of third party control, meaning that each element, both the standard itself and the process of application of the said standard (the process of certification) is controlled and revised by at least three different entities, which are independent of each other.
