The "Great Place to Work" certification is a recognition given to companies by the Great Place to Work Institute based in the U.S.A. This institute is a global authority on workplace culture, employee experience and leadership behaviors proven to deliver market-leading revenue and increased innovation.

The certification process involves a rigorous and objective methodology to validate employee experience and people practices. It includes two main components, which we accomplished in style that are:

Companies that achieve a score of 65% or higher on the Trust Index survey are eligible to become Great Place to Work Certified.

• If your goods are classed as target risk, they will be subject to random inspection.
• If your goods are not found in either category, they are not subject to BMSB measures, however, will be subject to the measures if packed with target high risk or risk goods.
Goods shipped in iso-tanks and as bulk-in-holds of cargo vessels are not subject to the measures.

» Treatment of target high risk goods:
• Target high risk goods treated in target risk countries must be treated by a treatment provider listed as 'approved' on the List of treatment providers.
