Once I opt-in, what does certification team do to confirm my classification and why is this necessary?
Because opting in can take place at any point in a product’s certification journey, once you opt in, the certification team will undertake an additional due diligence check of your portfolio holdings against product claims made so that when you receive confirmation of your classification, you know that it is as accurate as possible. To this end, you may receive a request for holdings to be provided in a format that allows us to run them through our partner ESG research databases. If adjustment to your classification is needed, our team will discuss this with you before confirming next steps. In summary, our due diligence checks for applying your classification at the point of opt-in may result in:
- Confirmation of your classification
- Revision of your classification
How long would it normally take after opt in for my classification to be confirmed?
Once you opt in, capacity will be allocated to re-check your classification, and we will be able to provide a more specific timeline at that point.
How much does it cost?
There is currently no additional cost for certified products to be classified and to use their classifications.
To maintain a product’s classification, the product’s RIAA Certification must remain in good standing. This requires that the product provider meet their ongoing commitments as stated within our Trademark Licence Agreement.
