Benefits

Reputation, trust and culture

Achieving the Mark endorses your organisation’s management and integration of responsible and sustainable practices. Some of the top companies in Ireland, across many business sectors, have achieved the Mark, showcasing their organisations as best in class.

The Mark helps you integrate social, environmental, ethical, human rights and consumer concerns into your business operations and strategy—a growing business imperative.

Certification with The Mark will:

• Deliver a detailed assessment of gaps and a road-map of opportunities
• Allow the organisation to benchmark its practices and performance amongst peers
• Provide independent verification by the National Standards Authority of Ireland (NSAI) 
• Support your CSR and sustainability credentials in contracting processes and government tenders where key social and environmental criteria are used to select preferred bidders
• Improve brand awareness and reputation as the Mark can be used in communications with stakeholders internally and externally
• Enhance your profile as we announce organisations that have achieved the Mark and we include them in our  high level CEO events annually
• Enhance your employer brand and help attract and retain employees
• Make you eligible to access the Leaders Group on Sustainability –  a collaboration between the CEOs of some of Ireland’s largest organisations, addressing pressing social, economic and environmental challenges
