Setting the standard, not just meeting it
We are different.
Speeki is different to any other ESG and sustainability firm you've come across – and certainly different to our Big 4 auditor competitors and Big 5 certification body competitors. That's for sure.
Our difference?
- Absolute integrity, independence and freedom from conflict
- Client-driven, committed to our clients' success in managing non-financial performance
- Super efficient and AI-powered, we're backed by a growing team of experts who stay on top of the latest developments and can explain exactly how they affect our clients.
We adhere to the highest standards of conduct, adopt industry practices and are accredited by multiple global agencies.
Our code of conduct applies to all employees, partners, suppliers and contractors. We take our role seriously as leaders of integrity in our industry.
Our code of practice applies to all projects using the AccountAbility AA1000AS v3 standards for sustainability report assurance.
Speeki has a quality management system built on ISQM 1.
Speeki has adopted ISQM 1 as the standard for quality management across its assurance business.
ISQM 1 strengthens Speeki's systems of quality management through a robust, proactive and effective approach. The standard encouraged us to design a system tailored to the nature and circumstances of our firm and the assurance engagements we perform.
ISQM 1 applies to all firms that perform engagements under IAASB's international standards, including Speeki, since we apply IAASB standards to our Speeki Guardian® sustainability report assurance projects.
Speeki adopts the IESBA Code of Ethics as the foundation of our assurance work.
Speeki adopts the International Standard on Sustainability Assurance 5000 (ISSA 5000).
Speeki fully believes that external assurance plays a key role in building trust and confidence in non-financial reporting. IAASB created ISSA 5000 to strengthen that same trust and confidence among investors, regulators and other stakeholders in sustainability information.
This is a comprehensive, stand-alone standard suitable for any sustainability assurance engagements. It applies to sustainability information reported across any sustainability topic and prepared under multiple frameworks.
Speeki applies this standard to all Speeki Guardian® projects. Our commitment to compliance with the standard is paramount in our firm.
Speeki is an accredited management system certification body.
Speeki Europe SAS was awarded accreditation by ANAB (ANSI National Accreditation Board) to deliver ISO 37001 certification on 27 August 2019. This was Speeki Europe SAS’s first accreditation and demonstrates our commitment to the credibility and integrity of the ISO 37001 certificates we issue.
ANAB is the largest accreditation body in North America and operates across 75 countries. Our accreditation confirms compliance with ISO/IEC 17021-1, the international standard for management system certification bodies.

This accreditation enables Speeki Europe SAS to certify companies globally.
Speeki Europe SAS was also awarded accreditation by the French accreditation body COFRAC* to deliver ISO 37001 certification in October 2019. COFRAC is the national accreditation body for France, where Speeki Europe SAS is based.
This accreditation further confirms that Speeki Europe SAS operates in accordance with ISO/IEC 17021-1 and applies high standards of qualification and competence across audits and technical reviews, including all personnel involved in the certification process.
With accreditations from both French and US accreditation bodies, Speeki Europe SAS offers flexibility for clients with a preference for a specific accreditation system, and confirms that we do not provide advisory or management system consultancy services.
