Independent Appointment Panel

The Independent Appointment Panel (IAP) is a subcommittee of the GECA Board. The committee’s primary objective is to appoint and oversee the Assurance Providers of the GECA Certification Scheme. 

The IAP is responsible for following the GECA Assurance Provider Appointment Guidelines to ensure that the GECA Scheme continues to be a globally leading ecolabel based on integrity, independence and impact. 

The roles and responsibilities of the IAP are described in the Independent Appointment Panel Terms of Reference. This process involves the appointment, surveillance and reappointment of Assurance Providers and aims to engage all relevant stakeholders of GECA certification.
