Every two years, unannounced audits conducted in the labelled companies offer the opportunity to:

• Check on certain items in the firm ‘in person’ by ‘labelling auditors’,
• Produce an audit report for the Labelling Department,
• Help the company progress in reaching perfection, with advice delivered on site.

Any observation of non-compliance will immediately lead to requests for corrective action and/or penalties.

To bring further solidity and legitimacy to the labelling process, the ESTRADS teams have created a Council of Elders made up of leading experts in the profession:

• Professionals from other existing labels
• Members of the leadership teams of various professional alliances
• Local politicians (mayors, deputies, senators, president of the region…)

The Council of Elders conducts continuous monitoring to identify new initiatives and recommend criteria changes to ensure the label remains consistent.
