What to review
Locate the included markets and identify whether the assessment concerns a local operation, brand or corporate group. Review language and sector coverage where relevant.
A practical example
A company serving customers in one market may qualify under a local category while not meeting another programme's regional criteria. The method determines eligibility.
Keep the claim in scope
Do not imply official regional endorsement or a local office from a geographic label alone.
Research and editorial context
Geographic labels need defined boundaries. Check the actual included countries, entities and populations before extending a result to a region. These notes do not assert local WCRC offices, announce regional winners or create country-specific programmes.
Examples illustrate a decision and do not describe a named organisation's conduct. This is a reference note, not a new research finding or an award outcome.
