The Gold Standard for ESG and GRC

ZENTRIQ™ is the first and only certification and operating framework designed specifically for governance, risk, compliance (GRC), and ESG in micro and small enterprises.

It sets the benchmark for what trust, transparency, and responsible entrepreneurship should look like in Europe and beyond.

What Is ZENTRIQ™?

ZENTRIQ™ is not just a badge or a checklist.

It is a comprehensive, manualized system that brings clarity, discipline, and measurable value to every part of your business:

• Governance: Transparent structures, clear responsibilities, and audit-ready processes
• Risk: Proactive identification, mapping, and control of every threat, financial, operational, reputational
• Compliance: Real-world adherence to Dutch and European law, industry codes, and ethical best practices
• ESG: Tangible impact in environmental, social, and governance performance, built into daily operations

ZENTRIQ™ is the guarantee that your company’s systems are not only compliant, but future-proof and resilient.

Why ZENTRIQ™?

• For Entrepreneurs:
  Stand out with objective proof of ethical, responsible management, recognized by banks, clients, and regulators
• For Teams:
  Enable multidisciplinary collaboration, role rotation, and continuous improvement
• For Stakeholders:
  Demonstrate real ESG outcomes, not just promises or reports

How Does ZENTRIQ™ Work?

ZENTRIQ™ is applied through licensed operating models (such as XTROVERSO™) and is only available to companies meeting strict quality and integration standards.

The certification process includes:

1. Baseline Assessment:
   Full mapping of current GRC and ESG practices
2. System Integration:
   Implementation of cross-functional processes and controls
3. Audit & Review:
   Independent verification by qualified auditors
4. Certification:
   Formal recognition and continuous monitoring for ongoing compliance

• Dutch micro and small enterprises (up to €12 million turnover, <50 employees)
• Entrepreneurs who want to build trust with clients, banks, and regulators
• Companies seeking a unified GRC and ESG system, not fragmented or siloed compliance
