ISPA Nominated for ‘Raising Industry Standards Award’ -
ISPA has been announced as a finalist in Nominet’s Best Practice Awards in the Raising Industry Standards category. The awards recognise organisations that have embraced the challenge of making the Internet a secure, open, accessible and diverse experience for all.
The ‘Raising Industry Standards’ category honours organisations that promote high standards of ethics in business, deliver an exceptional standard of customer service to online customers, promote Corporate Social Responsibility within the Internet industry and take a leading role in developing consumer confidence in the Internet.
ISPA was able to prove that it has worked with members to ensure high standards through adherence to the mandatory Code of Practice and voluntary Best Practice documents. ISPA further cited its cooperation with Government in promoting effective self-regulation and its third party dispute resolution service for consumers as examples of raising standards in the sector.
ISPA Secretary General, Nicholas Lansman said, "ISPA is proud to be recognised by Nominet’s highly-regarded Best Practice Awards for the continued commitment of the members of the association to ensuring high standards are maintained."
