CVCF Statement

Spark Growth’s Core Values and Compliance Framework Statement.

Introduction

SG clients value our experts for their knowledge and insights but also recognize and respect their limitations. In the process of working with thousands of clients, companies, and experts, we have established a robust compliance framework for sector research and consulting. All members are held to the highest international and inter-sector compliance criteria and privacy standards.

Compliance is a core commitment to our business and ingrained in our culture. Since 2013, we have invested considerable human and financial resources in our work to create technologically advanced and comprehensive processes underlying a compliance system upholding rigorous standards across sectors and markets.

Contracts

In order to be eligible to consult, SG requires Consultants and Team Members to sign and annually re-sign documents outlining our privacy policy, articles outlining consulting conditions, and additional contractual terms guaranteeing we maintain the highest standards of compliance by sector, company, and community. By signing, they agree that they:

  • Have reviewed any agreements or policies to which they are subject
  • Will decline to participate in any project that would violate those agreements and do not have any agreements with – and will not agree to owe any obligations to – third parties in conflict with the project and privacy commitments
  • Will not provide confidential (including non-public) information to clients, contractors, or outside bodies
  • Will keep client interests and information confidential; and
  • Will immediately inform SG leadership in the case of any conflict, contractual or otherwise, which may interfere with the completion of duties in compliance with SG contracts or commitments (written and verbal)

Experts often have conflicts. At SG, we actively communicate and address conflicts. We also work to ensure our experts have the requisite knowledge to provide insight to clients and to understand relevant conflicts and limitations. In the course of its development, SG has stored and researched thousands of answers to your questions and questions like them, giving us unparalleled information management and conflict resolution resources.

We recognize that compliance-focused clients want to be able to monitor their primary research activity in real-time and implement their own protocols for how users engage with experts. That is why we focus on providing real-time updates on your project and establishing processes for communication and data management.

If you have any questions or concerns about this or any aspect of our Core Values and Compliance Framework, please feel free to email us at info@sparkgrowth.net or reach out to your primary consultant contact / the core team member assigned to your interest.
