Your CSR goals = Our certification Standards
Our aim is not to "promise you the Earth" - but to give you a certified piece of mind!
We won't lecture you either, but we want you to be 100% sure that we deliver on the promises we do give.
For each project you confide in us, we will look into all the goals you can hit. And we will make sure to give you all the possible CSR marketing elements you can use corporately or in your marketing campaigns:
-
Which goals you are hitting.
-
Which standards are delivered.
-
Recommended communication & marketing angles that can be used with this project.
When you choose Merch&Co - we want you to be sure we are doing the right thing, even when you are not watching us!
