How it works

Methodology

A documented, evidence-led process — from submission to publication, annual update and correction — bounded by clear regulatory and UN limitations.

  1. Evidence over claims

    Participation is built on submitted records and documentation, not marketing statements or self-description.

  2. Defined scope

    Each firm declares the scope of its participation. Review and publication are bounded to that scope.

  3. Public-source checks

    Publicly available information is reviewed for consistency with submitted documentation.

  4. RM10 mapping

    Evidence is mapped against the relevant RM10 Standards for the firm's stakeholder category.

  5. Regulatory boundary QA

    Outputs are checked against regulatory and UN boundary rules before any publication.

  6. Publication decision

    A documented decision is recorded: Accepted for publication, Accepted with limitations, Deferred, or Declined.

  7. Certificate ID logic

    A Certificate ID is generated only where a certificate is issued within a defined scope. Drafts and declined applications carry no Certificate ID.

  8. Annual update

    Participants file an annual update. Status reflects whether the annual update has been filed or is due.

  9. Correction process

    Concerns about a profile can be raised and are handled through a documented correction process.

  10. Suspension / archive

    Profiles may be Suspended or Archived where participation lapses or scope can no longer be supported.

Identifiers

Certificate ID logic

Identifiers are deterministic and scope-bound. A Certificate ID confirms the existence and status of a defined-scope certificate record.2

Profile ID

BCRM-FRM-2026-0001

Shown on every published profile.

Certificate ID

BCRM-CERT-2026-0001

Shown only when a certificate is issued. Never shown for drafts, declined firms, incomplete evidence or pending applications.

Scope Notes

Markers in the text above resolve to the full boundary wording below. These notes define what this page records — and what it does not claim.

  1. 2.

    Certificate scope: A Certificate ID records the existence and status of a BlackCores Responsible Markets Contribution Certificate issued within a defined scope. It is not a verification of financial soundness, product safety, investment suitability, client outcome or regulatory standing.

  2. 7.

    RM10 Standards: BlackCores RM10 Standards are BlackCores-owned standards for documentary mapping and responsible-market conduct presentation. They are not regulatory rules, official regulator standards, UN standards, or a substitute for professional advice.
