  3. Training and Competence: We invest in the continuous development and training of our employees, ensuring they possess the necessary skills, knowledge, and expertise to deliver impartial services.
  4. Client Relationships: We prioritise building and maintaining strong, ethical, and professional relationships with our clients. Our team members are required to adhere strictly to our and the Association of Social Compliance Auditors (APSCA) Codes of Conduct, ensuring impartiality and transparency in all client interactions.
