TV Channel 'LCP - Assemblée nationale': The First Certification ISAS BCP 9001 
of a Television Station in Europe
ETHICS SA is pleased to announce the certification of a Television Station under the Media Management Standard ISAS BCP 9001.
Consequently, the French TV parliamentary network 'LCP - Assemblée Nationale', based in Paris, finds the quality of its organisation and internal processes officially recognised.
This demonstrates its dedication to implement best practices, the application of ethics in managing resources and a strong effective consideration for its stakeholders's satisfaction. These elements are directly related to the networks credibility and durability.
Nowadays, the media are required to deliver increasingly higher levels of performance. A strong market competition, new technologies, the importance of socio-economical interests and a public requiring precise and instant information, are all factors of intense pressure. These factors have a great impact on the operational mode, credibility and long-term sustainability of the media, whether in the private or public sectors.
The ISAS BCP 9001 Certification ensures the media's transparency and quality of service towards its stakeholders: the public, partners, the regulating authorities, trustees and advertisers. The quality is achieved by the application of managerial procedures that are structured, formalised and which have been successfully proven.
These best practices allow for the reduction of risks at every operational level of a media organisation. This includes the application of high ethical standards in editing, protecting information sources, safe archiving and respecting copyrights and intellectual property.
ETHICS SA would like to congratulate the LCP-AN team for its hight professional dedication to deliver a quality of service in media.
