Corporate Governance
APM Group Ethics and Standards Board
The structure of APM Group is such as to give confidence to our stakeholders in our certifications. In particular, we have a documented structure which includes provisions to assure the impartiality of our operations, to manage any potential conflict of interest with our staff and contractors and to ensure the objectivity of all our certification activities. This structure enables the participation of all parties significantly concerned in the development of the certification schemes.
Trust and honesty are paramount in a certification body and, to ensure that we work in accordance with our own standards, The APM Group Ltd has established an Ethics and Standards Board. The Board is led by an independent chairman with extensive management experience in the public and private sectors, who brings integrity and leadership to the Board's activities. The Board is free to investigate anything we do and to speak to anyone employed by APM Group, to ensure that we actually do and deliver what we say we will.
