You may have noticed recently that the name ‘Kiwa’ has started to appear on our branding and documentation. You may have also seen our updated logo. If you follow the certification world closely, this change might not come as a surprise because Compass merged with Kiwa over two years ago.
Kiwa is a Netherlands-based multinational leader in testing, inspection, and certification. Part of their business model focuses on acquiring and integrating successful certification bodies worldwide, allowing them to share resources and expertise while maintaining high-quality service. This collaboration is why Compass will continue to grow and improve.
If you’re wondering what this means for you, rest assured our commitment to our customers remains the same. Your auditor will still be the same familiar face, and when you call our office, the same friendly voices will answer. The main difference? An expanded service offering. We now provide SQF certification and will soon introduce BRC and Organic certification. Additionally, this international partnership gives us access to audit teams in the USA, Europe, and the UK.
As we continue integrating into the Kiwa family, you may notice further enhancements in the future. These changes are designed to make your certification experience smoother, more efficient, and even more valuable. But at its core, Compass remains dedicated to delivering the same high-quality service you’ve come to expect.
If you have any questions about what this means for your certification, don’t hesitate to reach out to our friendly team. We’re excited about this next chapter and look forward to continuing to support your business.
