At Green Award, we employ every auditor/surveyor directly. This implies that no third party inspectors are used to carry out audits.
These auditors are trained to our in-house modular training in order to learn and get acquainted to our in-house developed audit requirements and auditing skills.
They work solely and exclusively for Green Award.
