The proof to your promise

    Customised certification services at Control Union

    Control Union offers a wide range of customised services designed to meet the specific needs of companies. These services are ideal for companies that do not fall under a standard certification scheme but still require independent verification and support. 

    Examples of customised certification services at Control Union

    For companies with unique requirements, Control Union help develop specific standards. An example of this is the Responsible Down Standard (RDS). This standard was developed to demonstrate that down used in products is ethically sourced.

    Control Union offers independent verification of processes and products. This can range from pre-audits to identify gaps in current processes to verification of the origin of raw materials. For example, a company may want to know where its soy comes from and whether it meets certain sustainability criteria.

    Control Union can conduct internal audits to help companies improve their processes and comply with internal and external requirements. This can be useful, for example, for companies that want to demonstrate that they do not use child labour or other undesirable practices in their supply chain.

    Commercial opportunities

    Control Union’s customised services offer significant commercial opportunities for companies. Independent verification and customised standards enable companies to offer their customers trust and transparency. This is essential in sectors such as food, textiles and agriculture, where consumers are increasingly demanding sustainability and ethics. In addition, independent verification makes it easier to access markets with strict sustainability and ethical requirements. This opens doors to new customers and markets. Finally, internal audits and verifications help companies identify and address potential risks before they cause problems. This helps protect their reputation and reduce legal and financial risks.

    Control Union’s customised services are therefore not only a means of complying with regulations, but also a strategic tool for mitigating risks, exploiting commercial opportunities and gaining a competitive advantage.

    The customised Due Diligence service helps companies comply with legal obligations by implementing a Due Diligence System (DDS), which is essential for importers under certain government regulations. Control Union is always up-to-date with the constantly changing regulations, has a large international network and has many years of experience in supporting the implementation of DDS.
    Reporting, tracking and tracing

    Control Union Certifications registers all relevant data during a certification process, including the name of employee involved as well as the process behind any decision that was made.
    Supplier audits 

    Supplier audits 

    Supplier audits provide insight into the performance and compliance of your suppliers through (on-site) audits, which are essential for quality assurance and risk management. A lack of insight into supplier practices can lead to quality issues and reputational risks. This service offers transparency and control.
    Sampling and sealing

    Sampling and sealing

    Sampling and sealing ensures that samples are taken and sealed correctly, preventing contamination and enabling reliable laboratory analyses. Incorrect sampling can lead to unreliable test results and compliance issues. This service guarantees the integrity of samples. This service can also be part of the certification process or purchased separately.
