Work at CharlieHR?
This badge is free for every vendor we list and has no bearing on the order of any list. It is issued on the basis of a verified European headquarters (GB) and the compliance claims we checked against public sources — the date on it is the date we last checked.
The badge is issued to the vendor rather than left in public: claim the profile with a work email and we'll send it to you, along with a form for correcting anything we got wrong.
