[Certifications Spotlight Audio Clip 6] The Triman Logo

INTRODUCTION

What could possibly mean this logo featuring a little figure and arrows going against the clock's hands? What does it conjure up for you? Do we really need more pictos around information about sorting? What if I told you that it is actually mandatory, for now? 

Anne-Laure is back on the airwaves of this podcast to delve into the enigma of the 'Triman' logo in this 6th audio clip of the “Certifications Spotlight: Truths and Traps” series. Let’s equip you with knowledge and critical thinking to decipher:

• its meaning,
• its application,
• its grey areas,
• and its pros and cons.

Follow us: After the Green Dot (Point Vert) in the previous episode, Anne-Laure will be back for the next one to dive into the Moebius logo!
