Certified Ethical Development Companies

Building Technology People Can Trust

The CED Certified Companies Registry recognises organisations that have demonstrated a clear, verifiable commitment to ethical software development.

Companies listed here meet recognised standards for privacy, accessibility, security, transparency, and social responsibility, and actively support ethical practice within their technical teams.

Certification is independently assessed and renewed annually to ensure continued alignment with the CED Code of Ethics.

Launch Phase — Be Among the First

This Registry Is Now Open

We are currently accepting applications for the CED Company Checkmark Programme.

Early certified organisations will:

  • Be among the first publicly recognised ethical technology providers

  • Gain increased visibility as the registry launches and grows

  • Help set the benchmark for ethical development standards globally

If your organisation believes ethics should be built into technology — not bolted on — this is your opportunity to lead.
