Co-funding opportunity GOGLA Consumer Protection: Third-Party Assessment

The Consumer Protection Third-Party Assessment

The Third-Party Assessment is a new service that strengthens the assessment framework of GOGLA's Consumer Protection Code.  Led by a specially trained and experienced assessment agency, it provides a robust, objective, and independent assessment of a company’s performance against GOGLA's Consumer Protection Code. The Third-Party Assessment includes a review of organisation policies and processes and a 5-day on-site visit to evaluate implementation at customer-facing points. With a focus on improvement rather than rating, companies receive an in-depth report with recommendations and support to develop a realistic action plan. GOGLA has accredited MFR, an experienced ratings agency, to undertake the Third-Party Assessments. To find out more and request a Third-Party Assessment, click here.

With the support of British International Investment, DOEN Foundation and FMO, GOGLA is offering co-funding of €7,500 for seven companies motivated to undertake a Third-Party Assessment. The remaining cost can be covered by the company, their investors or a mixture of both.
