Assessment of Sustainability Levels
We understand that achieving 100% in sustainability is a huge challenge. The assessment of sustainability levels for the classification of the seals mentioned in this contract will be determined by the sum of the scores of the requirements after analysis and verification of the accuracy of the information for each seal. Procedural documents, such as on-site inspections to analyze the accuracy of the information and the compatibility of the requirements of the Beesiness Sustainability Classification Program, will be accepted for the classification of levels.
The classification levels will be identified for each Beesiness Sustainability Seal as follows:
1 Gold Level2 Silver Level
3 Bronze Level
Methodology
After registering in the Beesiness platform for pre-qualification, aligned with our code of conduct, the vendor can choose the seal(s) he wants to be audited.
The assessment process of the procedures adopted by the vendor for the product's production processes may, in addition to the standardized documents, involve technical visits to both the contractor's headquarters and branches, as well as to input suppliers.
The vendor must provide the documentation and facilitate the release of technical visits in accordance with the previously agreed-upon schedule. Throughout the analysis, Beesiness may request additional documentation, resubmission of calculations, or any other information or factors to confirm the accuracy of the information. We keep our rights to perform audits, either through our own team or third-party auditors, via digital means or through technical visits.
Certificate Emission
The Beesiness Sustainability Classification Certificate will be issued in digital form, with each seal and its corresponding levels based on the score achieved. Only after receiving the sustainability classification can the contractor be included in the global Beesiness marketplace platform, subject to signing the platform inclusion contract.
The use of the Beesiness sustainability classification is reserved exclusively for the marketing of products on the global Beesiness platform. They are not available in physical form and cannot be used and transferred to other online platforms.
Cost of Seal Audit
Registration for pre-qualification can be acquired under products in our online platform. The first evaluation costs EUR 50.
After the pre-qualification we initiate the process with:
a) A base fee of EUR 450 per digital seal, plus
b) Incidental expenses related to transfers, accommodations, or meals during the audit process to go to your premisses. The vendor is responsible for covering these additional costs.
This approach ensures a minimal cost for obtaining a digital seal, fostering fairness among all vendors. In cases where multiple vendors undergo audits in a specific region within a specified timeframe, we have the flexibility to distribute shared costs among the participating vendors.
