Codema Global Rating is an international standardization initiative developing innovative methodologies, technical guidelines and auditable Rating Protocols across a wide range of technical and industrial sectors.

Its standardization activities are coordinated by the Codema Technical Secretariat and organized through Technical Committees and Working Groups, in accordance with principles of openness, transparency, stakeholder participation and consensus.

The Codema Global Rating Association, based in Geneva, Switzerland, provides the institutional framework for stakeholder participation in standardization activities.

Membership in the Association enables individuals, technical experts, companies, institutions and consumers to participate in Technical Committees and Working Groups. Individual membership is free of charge, while organizations participating through designated representatives are subject to the applicable membership conditions.

A core element of the Codema Global Rating methodology is the integration of standardization with information systems. Rating Protocols are structured into auditable technical matrices incorporating defined requirements, assessment criteria, rating metrics and documented evidence.

These matrices are designed for integration with digital platforms, enterprise information systems and AI-enabled applications, enabling the execution, management and traceability of assessment and auditing processes within existing technological environments.

This approach, developed through the Audit as a Layer methodology, supports the application of standards through both traditional independent auditing and digitally integrated assessment processes.
