Brand-Related Audits
What do we do?
Many companies already have defined specifications across their value chain, such as codes of conduct and/or brand standards. We support organizations that have not developed these into formal standards or auditing programs. We help you to define specifications with the aim of deployment across the full value chain or particular areas.
We help identify specific risk areas and determine how to control them. The resulting tailored audit program ensures you have full visibility and control over brand-related risks. Where required, we provide a fully managed solution, liaising with your value chain, arranging audits, and providing analytical feedback to relevant stakeholders.
