Industry Label Certification Process

Labeling Levels

The xShare Industry Label is designed to be a flexible and adaptable certification system that can be tailored to the specific needs of different stakeholders. The label is divided into three levels, each with its own set of requirements and evaluation processes. This tiered approach allows for a gradual progression from self-assessment to more rigorous third-party evaluations, ensuring that organisations can choose the level of certification that best suits their needs.
