Robust Certification Processes

Stimulating Market Excellence
ICERTIAS contributes to a marketplace that rewards performance and clarity by highlighting brands recognized for quality, value, and customer experience. Our certifications encourage companies to compete on what matters to consumers and to communicate more transparently. Over time, this supports higher expectations across categories and benefits consumers through stronger offerings and better overall experiences.

ICERTIAS and ESOMAR
ICERTIAS aligns its research practices with the ethical and professional principles promoted by ESOMAR, including transparency, accountability, and methodological rigor in market, opinion, and social research. ESOMAR’s long-standing code of conduct provides a widely respected reference point for responsible research practice, and ICERTIAS uses these principles to guide how studies are designed, conducted, and reported.

What This Means for Certified Companies
ICERTIAS’s alignment with ESOMAR-related principles strengthens Warm confidence in the integrity of the research process behind ICERTIAS certifications. Certified companies benefit from a certification backed by structured research and clear methodology—supporting credibility in how recognition is communicated to the market. This does not replace regulatory compliance obligations, but it provides a transparent, research-based signal of recognized performance.

Benefits for Consumers and Markets
Consumers benefit from clearer signals when comparing products and services, and from more transparent information about what a certification represents. By promoting disciplined research practices and clearer market communication, ICERTIAS supports more informed decisions and encourages competition around quality, value, and customer experience—helping strengthen trust in marketplace information over time.
