The Charter itself consists of a set of Charter Sustainability Procedures (CSPs) which companies implement in their management systems. Companies participating in the Charter agree to be independently verified for the Charter entrance check. Once the criteria are met, they are entitled to use the Charter logo.

The Charter also provides for a set of Key Performance Indicators (KPIs) on which companies report their annual progress to the A.I.S.E. A company has to start to report for the very same year in which it has officially committed to the Charter. That means, if a company has committed before 31 December 200x, it will be asked to submit its data for the same year 200x. Each year, the A.I.S.E. will produce an annual sustainability report for the whole European soaps, detergents and maintenance industry based on companies' input.
