The Altius Globes

Altius assesses vendors against requirements in five different areas. Passing the Altius requirements in a particular area results in the award of an 'Altius Globe'. Gaining the Commercial and Risk Management globes leads to the award of 'Altius Assured Vendor' status. Many of our clients use this as their benchmark for vendors to get on their list, though some do have specific requirements above and beyond.

Gaining all five globes leads to the award of 'Altius Elite Vendor' status. Why not have a look at our current list of Elite Vendors.
