This is the Corporate Social Responsibility Assessment Standard for businesses, which was jointly developed by CSR HELLAS (Hellenic Network for Corporate Social Responsibility) and the European certification body EUROCERT, focusing on the basic principles of Corporate Social Responsibility, Responsible Entrepreneurship and Sustainable Development. The Ethos certification is a criterion for compliance with the principles of Corporate Social Responsibility for all member companies of the ELLA-DIKA MAS Initiative.
How it works

Key evaluation pillars:
- Respect of human rights

- Health, safety and working conditions
- Quality of customer service
- The environment
- Fighting corruption and bribery
