IMQ Certification (UK) Code of Ethics.

Independence, integrity, transparency, objectivity, confidentiality, reliability, responsibility, and inclusiveness: these are the keywords that underpin our Code of Ethics and our Policies

IMQ Certification (UK) Ltd. is a third-party conformity assessment body operating in the UK and through the subsidiaries of IMQ Group, around the world. IMQ carries out its activities against a rapidly and continuously changing institutional, economic, political, social, and cultural environment. To successfully tackle the complexity of the situations in which IMQ operates, our company needs to have a clearly defined set of values that guide its decisions and set its standards.

The most important of these are:

  • integrity and fairness in the performance of its services,
  • rigorous compliance with the laws, regulations and technical standards in force in the countries it works in,
  • timely fulfilment of the obligations accruing to it as a result of contracts and other sources of private law,
  • separation of powers, whereby each business process must adhere to the principle of independence of the various company functions; operating procedures and specific control activities are therefore in place to ensure that no single operator has control of an entire company process,
  • all actions must be taken exclusively by the persons empowered to take it, and powers of signature and authorization must be consistent with the organizational responsibilities assigned,
  • every action, operation, and transaction must be verifiable, documented, coherent, and consistent, based on complete, documented information,
  • professional ethics, under which personnel carry out their tasks and duties with the highest degree of professional and moral responsibility,
  • strict independence and objectivity both in the performance of conformity assessment activities and the management of relations with entities requesting these activities, as well as, with third parties
  • gender equality, valuing and protecting diversity and equal opportunities, as well as supporting women's empowerment by monitoring all stages of a person's career path and developing a coherent and responsible communication process.

IMQ UK internal personnel have read and accepted the IMQ UK Code of Ethics (or the equivalent of IMQ S.p.A/CSI S.p.A/IMQ Group Srl).
