Statement of Independence & Professional Integrity

1. Our Mission: Ground-Truth Verification

As an independent verifier based in Southeast Asia, I provide European companies with an unfiltered, senior-level perspective on their manufacturing partners. My role is to bridge the "transparency gap" between EU corporate standards and the operational realities on the ground in Asia.

2. Financial Independence (Zero-Commission Policy)

• Total Neutrality: I am paid exclusively by my clients (the buyers). I accept zero commissions, "consulting fees," or gifts from the factories I verify.

• Anti-Bribery Commitment: I operate with a zero-tolerance policy regarding "red envelope" culture. Any attempt by a facility to influence the outcome of a report is documented and immediately reported to the client.

3. Senior Oversight vs. Automated Audits

Unlike mass-market auditing agencies that utilize junior staff and standardized checklists, I apply 50+ years of European management experience and a "hotelier's eye" for operational detail.

• Narrated Video Evidence: Every visit is supported by high-fidelity, unedited video footage. This ensures that the client is "virtually present" and can verify my findings with their own eyes.

• The "Vibe" Check: Beyond the paperwork, I assess management culture, worker morale, and the "unspoken" risks that traditional certificates often miss.

4. Alignment with EU Due Diligence (CSDDD)

While I do not issue "Tier 1" certificates (like BSCI/SMETA), my reports constitute a crucial "Appropriate Measure" under the EU Corporate Sustainability Due Diligence Directive (CSDDD).

• I help clients fulfill their legal duty to identify, prevent, and mitigate actual human rights and environmental risks.

• My verification acts as a forensic layer of protection, ensuring that your official ESG certifications are grounded in physical reality, not just office paperwork.

5. Danish Integrity, Local Expertise

As a Danish national operating in Asia, I am bound by the professional ethics of my heritage and the practical knowledge of my home in the region. My reports are direct, honest, and designed to protect your brand from the legal and reputational risks of a global supply chain.
