Eurofins Assurance network of companies takes quality and integrity seriously. Our quality and ethics team across different services and locations oversee all aspects of process, quality and ethics for the businesses, ensuring we remain an organization independent from brands, retailers, buying agencies, trading companies, factories and any stakeholders.

Ethics

Our comprehensive and stringent ethics policies are built around four pillars to ensure we maintain the highest levels of morality and transparency in everything Eurofins Assurance does: 

• Anti-corruption 
• Impartiality 
• Integrity 
• Ethics 

By providing ethics courses to our own teams, conducting factory surveys, crosschecking assessments and monitoring corruption attempts through KPIs, we cultivate a culture of ethical practices and behaviour throughout Eurofins Assurance. 

Process

We are proud of our approach to process management. Our quality management system (QMS) is comprised of four critical elements: 

• Internal system to manage controlled documents 
• Continuous review and update of internal policies and SOP 
• Quality management system specifications 
• Confidentiality 

Impartiality & integrity

Through our internal policies, Eurofins Assurance network of companies develops internal promotion and facilitate the personal career development of all employees. Any inspector/auditor/manager who operates on behalf of Eurofins Assurance should commit themselves to  

• Eurofins Code of Ethics and Values 
• Eurofins Compliance on anti-bribery, modern slavery, fair competition, equal opportunities and other governance

Eurofins Assurance employee will be regularly evaluated on their adhesion to the above policies. Also, employees/partners are encouraged to provide feedback about any kind of incident that could happen while operating through the whistleblowing channels available.  

Moreover, Eurofins Assurance’s commercial and marketing strategy is based on transparency, fair marketing, and antitrust laws. 

Our certification activities are provided by independent companies and separate from consulting activities. Such services are also presented and sold to clients separately, not in bundle or packaged format. Impartiality is safeguarded by Eurofins Assurance’ relevant policies to avoid conflicts of interest.
