Sd3 Assurance Code of Conduct

Sd3 is a values based company committed to furthering the principles of sustainable development within organisations. In addition to our general commitment to adding value and the highest levels of client service (See, About Sd3); in carrying out assurance engagements Sd3 will adhere to six principles.

1. Integrity. We will carry out our work diligently and honestly to establish the truth so far as is possible given the level of our assurance agreed with the client.
2. Objectivity and independence. We will be objective in our engagement balancing information without bias. Although we are paid for our assurance services we will only take on assurance engagements if we are able to remain objective. We will achieve this by declining assurance engagements where we have undertaken advisory work for the same organisation during the reporting period.
3. Professional competence. As with all projects we will ensure that staff working on assurance engagements are competent and fully trained in sustainability assurance practices and standards
4. Professional behaviour. We will apply ourselves rigorously, so that our judgements are fully informed. We will work closely with our clients communicating clearly when explaining our conclusions and their significance
5. Confidentiality. In carrying out assurances we will be sensitive to level of confidence required to carry out the assurance and will not divulge client information
6. Respect. We will respect the views of report stakeholders where known and encourage reporters to address their interests.

-------

We provide assurance statements for printed reports and web sites. In addition we offer comprehensive client reports at the project's conclusion. For more information on our assurance offer click here.
