The company validation consists of an ethical quality survey (EKM) where we measure the company’s culture and leadership. We also review the finances, general reputation, and any policies and core value documents. The purpose is to ensure that the company is ethically recommendable and one that customers and partners can trust.

After completing the company validation, the company receives a response report, an analysis report, and a development plan. Thereafter, an oral review is held with advice and recommendations for continued development.

Companies that have passed the company validation with an approved result can choose to obtain an ethical quality mark (R-license). Regardless of whether one chooses to obtain an R-license or not, the process provides valuable input for the company’s future development.

For smaller companies, there is a special review process.
