We conduct an annual risk analysis with regard to impartiality and conflicts of interest. These measures are monitored by our impartial steering committee. We declare that we understand the importance of impartiality in the performance of our management system certification activities and that we manage conflicts of interest in a way that does not compromise independence but that does ensure the objectivity of our management system certification activities.
