Sd3 Assurance Code of Conduct

What assures you? Sd3 have recognised that while audit and verification processes are effective tools they do not in themselves raise the credibility of sustainability reports or the effectiveness of related sustainability management processes. We have tackled this issue by developing an Assurance Code of Conduct which describes six principles that ensure client confidence in our assurance engagements. So whether following a bespoke process or the AccountAbility AA1000AS standard, Sd3 clients and their Report readers can rest easier knowing that the assurance engagements has been undertaken by a principled organisation. Sd3 have used the Code of Conduct with our assurance of the recent reports of Balfour Beatty and Royal & Sun Alliance. The principles: integrity; objectivity and independence; professional competence; professional behaviour; confidentiality and respect are described in full here.
