Certified client recognition
Certification isn't the finish line
The Wilkshire Certified Client Recognition Program acknowledges organizations that completed a certification or implementation project with us and continue to maintain effective, compliant systems. Optional, and free to eligible clients.
Program purpose
Certification is the foundation, not the finish. This program highlights clients' commitment to quality, environmental responsibility, information security, health & safety and responsible recycling, and strengthens the relationship beyond the certificate.
- Publicly acknowledge organizations that invested in robust management systems
- Provide added marketing and credibility value to our clients
- Strengthen professional partnerships in regulated, standards-driven industries
- Support transparency, trust and continual improvement
This is not a link exchange or an advertising platform. All listings are editorial in nature and curated to maintain quality and relevance.

Management System Maintenance Program. first, Ongoing upkeep of the system so it doesn't decay between audits.
Internal auditing services. then Independent internal audits, run on schedule rather than postponed.
Surveillance audit preparation. after that, Getting ready for the audit that confirms the system is still working.
Ongoing compliance and improvement. finally, Corrective actions, transitions and keeping pace with revised standards.

Questions
Common questions
Does it cost anything?
No. Participation is optional and offered at no cost to eligible clients.
Do we have to link back to you?
No. Attribution is encouraged rather than required, and the program is editorial rather than a link exchange. Listings that include an outbound link and logo are typically those where the organization publishes Wilkshire attribution, but recognition itself doesn't depend on it.
What's the difference between Certified Client and Active Client?
Certified Client covers organizations that completed a certification or implementation project with us. Active Client covers those maintaining an ongoing relationship through post-certification support such as the Management System Maintenance Program, internal auditing or continual improvement support.
Is this an accreditation or an endorsement?
Neither. Recognition acknowledges a management system achievement. It doesn't replace certification body listings or accreditation, and it isn't an endorsement of an organization's products or services.
What if our certification lapses?
Recognition may be suspended. Listings are aligned with current certification status, which is what keeps the directory meaningful.
Can we withdraw later?
Yes, at any time with a simple email. We'll remove the listing.
