Approved ethics is an organisation that hopes to build trust & create a baseline for services, products & information.

For Consumers

We believe, that when you purchase a service or product, you should be able to trust the information you receive.

Training

To become AE certified, staff need to complete AE training and adhere to the AE Level of Conduct (AELOC).

Monitoring

AE periodically monitors and reviews members to ensure AELOC compliance.

Feedback

Feedback from customers is collected, reviewed and published.

Resolutions

AE will mediate validated disputes, and work to provide a mutual outcome.

How Much?

AE is a free service to clients.

Additional client services are available, but may incur aditional costs. You will be clearly notified prior to a cost being incurred.

For Business

We believe, that ethics and honesty will benifit your business and give you a competitive edge.

Training

AE provides training guidelines for your staff to AELOC standards.

Monitoring

AE monitors and reviews your staff to ensure AELOC compliance and consumer confidence.

Feedback

Published feedback is collected, and your management is notified when issues arise.

Resolutions

AE will simplify the process of issue resolution.

How Much?

There are costs involved with being AE Certified, however these costs are designed to cover the cost of running the program.

Initial training is the largest cost component of certification. Once training is complete, there is a small recurring fee.

Breaches of the AELOC incur penalties, consider it a naughty-tax, which is used to maintain the service.

What About Us?

We think relationships are more important than money.

We think that clients deserve honesty.

We think that businesses can make profit fairly.

Why it is needed

We usually think that we can trust the people we purchase products from, but the truth is, that money has become the primary driving force in most of our lives.

Some sales people will say anything to make a sale - even if it is simply not true. Others do not have the product knowledge to answer questions about the products we are buying.

We simply think that we should be able to believe what sales professionals say and be confident the the information they give us is correct.
