On May 15, 2026, RC Verifiers convened via Zoom to finalize the verification schedule and assign teams for member companies, with Gretchen Enarle assuming the role of Center Director. Companies completing Stage B verification covering performance baselines and KPI reporting would be authorized to use the new RC logo.

The program’s framework consists of Phase 1’s three stages: Stage A focusing on awareness assessment of RC structures, codes, and compliance; Stage B emphasizing performance evaluation using KPI baselines and a PDCA cycle; and Stage C conducting full ISO-style audits for companies with existing ISO systems. Phase 2 is reserved for companies seeking full integration of RC within their ISO management systems.

This meeting marked a significant step in refining the RC verification process by clarifying logo eligibility, enhancing team deployment strategies, and establishing a transparent verification framework that upholds program integrity and consistency across member companies.
