Expertise, transparent criteria and independent decisions
We are developing a partner approach for external CSR assessment. No NGO partnership or certification scheme is currently announced here.
Partner selection
We intend to examine sector expertise, governance, assessment capability and evidence standards. Verified ECOSOC consultative status may form part of an NGO's institutional credibility profile, alongside its practical competence.
The NGO's own assessment
The NGO would issue its own attestation or private certification under its own name and framework. Assessment roles, impartiality, complaints, validity, monitoring and withdrawal conditions would be specified by the arrangement.
What will be published
Confirmed partner identity, expertise, verified institutional status where applicable, assessment framework, issuer, scope and award conditions.
Scope of recognition
ECOSOC consultative status is distinct from accreditation to certify a business. An NGO-issued certificate does not constitute UN, ECOSOC or UN Geneva approval.
