EDGE Certification
FLOCERT is accredited by the EDGE Certified Foundation to certify companies against the EDGE (Equity, Diversity, and Gender Equality) Standards.
A company interested in EDGE Certification® engages EDGE Strategy or an EDGE licensing partner to implement EDGE Empower®. This Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion (DE&I) software solution enables the company to adopt a rigorous and proven data-driven approach to inform its DE&I strategy and prepare for the independently verified EDGE Certification®. This assessment includes areas of analysis such as representation at all levels of the organization, pay equity, effectiveness of policies and practices to ensure equitable career flows and inclusiveness of the culture.
During an EDGE Audit, a FLOCERT auditor will verify this self-assessment remotely or at the company’s premises.
