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

“If social reporting is to continue and to become a significant factor in how business performance is judged, it needs to be able to be verified as being accurate and comprehensive.”
