Businesses and organisations that operate a values-led culture and demonstrate an ongoing commitment to engaging on ethical issues may apply for the Ethics Mark. Verification involves the Foundation in assessing the veracity of your Values Statement, as well as your ethics engagement processes and activities, and the degree to which your stated values are shared throughout the organisation. It is not just a standard you reach and then stay there, since it needs to be renewed on a regular basis.

The nature of verification depends on the size and nature of your organisation but would usually entail eliciting feedback from employees, customers and suppliers, as well as analysing your performance relative to industry norms.
