Get a quick and easy scorecard of your ESG initiatives.

While having an ISO Certification demonstrates high business standards, the process to obtain one is lengthy and requires a team commitment for at least six months. In contrast, the time needed to conduct a Speeki Assessment and get a scorecard is considerably shorter. Your business would receive a rigorous but rapid and low-cost analysis after an online process and a documentation review are completed. This result could then be used in your internal and external recruitment and marketing strategies.

Certification is performed by an organisation accredited to issue certificates of compliance with a published standard. Speeki, thorugh its Europe operation, Speeki Europe, is accredited under International Organisation for Standardisation (ISO) rules to certify organisations against certain standards.
‍
Speeki Assessments are issued based on a quicker and less formal process, and reflect the expert judgement of Speeki’s own experienced assessors. Attestations are self-declarations of compliance by an organisation, and do not require external assessment. As such, they have their uses, but typically carry less weight than an independent rating or certification.

Speeki Assessments give your business a quick and effective benchmark against current best practices for governance and compliance in ESG. Our online Assessments process provides your company with a Platinum, Gold, or Silver scorecard depending on its level of compliance. Results containing your scorecard are sent through our Speeki online systems and can be used for myriads of business purposes, such as branding, marketing, and HR, but also as a form of short-form gap analsysis.

Speeki Assessments are a rapid and efficient benchmark of your business’s policies and systems against current best practices in governance and compliance.
‍
Certification is an extensive examination of your enterprise’s compliance readiness and compliance systems against the requirements of ISO standards.

Obtaining a scorecard is a simple process, which requires filling in an online form focused on your company’s policies around the selected Assessment Topic and uploading supporting evidence. Submitted information is reviewed by our expert team, which then assigns a scorecard of Platinum, Gold, or Silver if applicable.

Speeki does not publish scorecards. They are sent directly to your business account on the Speeki online system, thus ensuring you retain 100% management of how the scorecard is used or published.

The company has incorporated its expertise and experience into the fast and convenient Speeki online systems, which helps you to efficiently and clearly benchmark your business’s policies and systems against current best practices in governance and compliance.

Speeki Assessments, and its scorecard, could, if you wish, be used for a range of internal and external marketing purposes to give your business an edge. They also give you an efficient and cost-effective benchmark of how your company stacks up against best practices with which you can adjust your corporation’s policies and systems.
‍
For example, your business can use its Speeki Assessment and scorecard to demonstrate its commitment to managing risks and opportunities in ESG effectively, or use the Topic as part of an external branding strategy. Consumers would be persuaded to overcome potential scepticism related to your brand, and more investors could be attracted. For internal branding, results may be used to boost staff retention rates and minimise turnover. The information can contribute to a sense of achievement and pride — motivated staff are more committed and productive.
‍
As an inexpensive gap analysis, the scorecard might be used as a guideline for improving systems related to the selected Topic. For instance, fostering more of a freedom and safety culture for staff could facilitate implementation of a Whistleblowing programme, or an existing diversity, equity, and inclusion system would be of greater benefit if it incorporated more staff-led initiatives.

Since our inception, we have been at the forefront of creating standards in the Governance and Compliance field. In 2006, we developed the first ever standard for certification of anti-corruption programmes. We then participated in the drafting of both the ISO 19600/37301 standard on compliance management systems and the ISO 37001 standard on anti-bribery management systems (requirements with guidance for use published in 2016), which replaced our private standard. ISO 37001 became the first certifiable ISO standard in the area of compliance.

All questions need to be answered; you can review all the questions before responding. Be sure to complete the questionnaire within one (1) month of starting it.

A scorecard is a benchmark of your business’s policies and systems against current best practices in ESG, governance and compliance, while an attestation is a self-declaration that a system exists. A certification comprehensively assesses if your organisation’s management system, manufacturing process, service, or documentation procedure meets all the requirements for standardisation and quality assurance.

If you answer “yes” to any of the following queries, then Speeki Assessment may be right for you.

• Do you want to prove to stakeholders that you value managing governance and compliance effectively?
• Do you want to easily demonstrate due diligence and risk management to your customers?

Yes. Your responses are viewed by the relevant assessor on a need-to-know-basis.

Your scorecard is valid for one (1) year.
