Take the time to check or re-test your system, including criminological risks, and not just risks linked to money-laundering, production problems or business dealings. Previously installed control processes generally don’t take into account criminological factors either because they appear to be too complicated or simply because they haven’t been available up until now. As you are aware, criminology is the sociology of criminal behaviour. Criminological factors are therefore those which define and explain criminal behaviour, patterns and modus operandi.

Take the time to ask yourself what are the things that make up the real value of your business. Then imagine that it’s not you or your shareholders who are benefiting from that commercial value but other, criminally intentioned people: How would they do it? We can help you to rapidly evaluate these risks thanks to our state-of-the-art tools and experience.

We would be happy to meet with you to explain the workings of the certification process. ETHICS™ offers you a range of processes which you manage and which are non-intrusive. We are your business partners and we behave with the utmost discretion. What’s more, the ETHICS™ processes which you integrate into your existing structure don’t limit your independence at all – they enhance it through a clarity of approach which brings you fuller strategic information which will help you in your decision making. And as you know, if business is formally limited by existing laws, your independence is bounded by your values, your visions and your actions.

Yes, of course it’s possible, with certain qualifications. Our specialists would be happy to help you.

In this type of environment exposed to criminal behaviour (corruption, racketeering etc.) ETHICS ™ certification brings you opportunities in the wider world through the credibility and recognition it offers you, and acts as an integrated shield through its regularly audited processes. You can use this shield to strongly moderate badly intentioned approaches to your company. You can force undesirable elements to use less effective, more expensive and less punitive strategies against you. ETHICS ™ certification strongly communicates your desire to differentiate your company through the application of ethical value to your business partners, your clients and the general public. In a market where these values are still not common currency, ETHICS™ certification gives you an extra added competitive advantage. In a dynamic and changing environment, it also allows companies adhering to ethical values to recognise each other. As a result, you can significantly reduce your risk exposure to active criminal behaviour in your company. Not only are you more fully informed of what is going on, but your company will be able to prove that it has done everything possible, through a rigorous certification process, to reduce and avoid these risks.
