Rules & Compliance

All GOED members sign an affidavit when joining the membership agreeing to comply with our Code of Ethics and the GOED Voluntary Monograph. 

GOED has two compliance programs, a randomized testing program and a claims enforcement program. Any company or individual may make an allegation to GOED that one of our members is not adhering to the Code of Ethics or is marketing products that are not compliant with the GOED Voluntary Monograph and we will initiate the investigation process for allegations of non-compliance as defined by GOED's board and legal counsel. To submit a complaint, please email Ellen Schutt, Managing Director. Complaints can be made anonymously.
