Update on CSI's Response to COVID-19 - Seed Program

While the spread of COVID-19 in Canada seems to be stabilizing and the general environment seems to be improving, we do not want to be hasty in our decision to continue with our on-site audits. The health and safety our clients, auditors and staff are our top priorities. So, CSI will continue to suspend all on-site audit activities a little while longer.

Réponse de l’ICS à la pandémie de COVID-19

Qui aurait prévu qu’au début de 2020 nous allions unir nos efforts pour gérer les répercussions de la pandémie de COVID-19, un événement historique et mondial? Cette pandémie a une incidence incroyable sur nos vies personnelles et professionnelles ainsi que sur nos collectivités. Alors que la COVID-19 se répand, le risque d’exposition s’accroît pour les vérificateurs de l’ICS et vous, nos clients. Face à cette augmentation des risques, l’ICS a décidé de suspendre toutes les activités de vérification et d’inspection pour le prochain mois, et ce jusqu’au 20 avril.

CSI Response to COVID-19 Pandemic - RSE and Lab Audits Postponed Temporarily

Who would have predicted that in early 2020 we’d be united in our efforts managing the impacts of a historical, global event, the COVID-19 pandemic? It is having an incredible impact on our personal lives, work lives, and on our communities. As the spread of COVID-19 grows, so does the risk of exposure, for the CSI auditors and for you, our clients. In consideration of the growing risks, CSI has decided to suspend all audit and inspection activities for the next month, until April 20th.
