While having an ISO Certification demonstrates high business standards, the process to obtain one is lengthy and requires a team commitment for at least 12-18 months. In contrast, the time needed to conduct a Speeki Qualify™ assessment and get a scorecard is a few days. For most suppliers (but not all), a request to show an ISO certification might be too much, whereas a rigorous but rapid and low-cost analysis provided by a Speeki Qualify™ assessmsent might be a better option.

Certification is performed by an organisation accredited to issue certificates of compliance with a published standard. Speeki, through its Europe operation, Speeki Europe, is accredited under International Organisation for Standardisation (ISO) rules to certify organisations against certain standards.

Speeki Qualify™ assessments are issued based on a quicker and less formal process, and reflect the expert judgement of Speeki’s own experienced assessors. While a scorecard is a simpler and faster solution, it will typically carry less weight than an independent rating or certification.

Speeki Qualify™ assessments are designed to give your suppliers a quick and effective benchmark against their current best practices for ESG and sustainability. Our online Speeki Qualify™ assessments process provides your supplier a Platinum, Gold, or Silver scorecard. Results containing the scorecard are sent to the supplier and you as their sponsor.

Speeki Qualify™ assessments are a rapid and efficient benchmark of your suppliers' policies and systems against current best practices in ESG and sustainability.
‍
Certification is an extensive examination of an enterprise’s compliance conformity against the requirements of ISO standards. A much bigger and more complex option.

Your supplier is asked by you to complete a Speeki Qualify™ assessment on a particular topic. 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 and the supplier's, thus ensuring you retain 100% management of how the scorecard is used or published. We provide the results to you and the supplier and leave it up to both of you how you both agree to publish (if at all).

Speeki has been a market leader in providing ISO and other standards certification for over twenty years. It is a pioneer of the industry.

Speeki has incorporated its expertise and experience into the fast and convenient Speeki Qualify™ assessment process, which helps you and your supplier efficiently and clearly benchmark their business’s policies and systems against current best practices in ESG and sustainability.

Speeki Qualify™ assessments, and its result 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 a company stacks up against best practices with which you can adjust your corporation’s policies and systems.
‍
For example, your supplier can use its Speeki Qualify™ 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 a 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 Speeki Qualify™ 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.
