Unfens Rating Scale

Definition of a Company

For the purpose of this rating scale, a company is defined as any commercial or non-profit entity that organizes, operates, or facilitates outdoor experiences, including but not limited to trekking, climbing, skiing, cycling, rafting, and mountaineering. This includes adventure tour operators, guiding agencies, educational expeditions, and gear-dependent outdoor logistics providers.

Purpose and Scope

The Unfens Rating Scale is an independent assessment tool designed to evaluate outdoor experience providers based solely on publicly available information. This includes data published on verified sources such as official company websites, terms and conditions, safety documents, service descriptions, and FAQs.

Our objective is to assist consumers in making informed decisions by highlighting providers who align with globally recognized safety and quality standards.

The scale is structured around best practices prescribed by the following internationally recognized bodies:

  • ISO 21102 – Adventure Tourism: Leaders – Personnel Competence
  • ISO 21103 – Specifies minimum requirements for information to be provided to participants.
  • ISO 21101 – Safety Management Systems
  • ISO 20611 – Good Practices for Sustainability
  • UIAA – Summit Charter and Safety Standards
  • ATTA – Adventure Travel Trade Association Guidelines
  • IPPG – International Porters Protection Group Recommendations

Rating Reevaluation

  • Unfens periodically reevaluates scores for each provider based on updates to publicly available information.
  • However, we are not liable to reflect changes immediately after a company updates or modifies its materials.
  • There may be a lag between data publication by the company and our next review cycle.
  • Company is encouraged to notify us of relevant updates to facilitate faster reevaluation.

Limitations

  • The ratings are entirely contingent upon the transparency and completeness of information made publicly accessible by each company.
  • A lower score does not necessarily imply substandard practices—it may simply reflect limited disclosure.
  • We do not perform on-ground audits, interviews, or document verification.
  • All assessments are desk-based and drawn from surface-level publicly available material.
  • The Unfens Rating Scale should not be interpreted as a guarantee of safety, legality, or service quality.

Company Engagement & Transparency

We encourage company to:

  • Publish and regularly update details on safety protocols, sustainability practices, staff training, and logistics.
  • Adopt a transparent communication strategy with clients, reflecting both best practices and operational realities.

A well-informed consumer ecosystem thrives when company embraces public accountability.

No Liability Clause

Unfens disclaims any liability for:

  • Personal, financial, or legal consequences resulting from decisions based on these ratings.
  • Misinterpretation or misuse of the ratings by third parties.

We urge all users to conduct independent research and directly verify critical information with the company before participating in any outdoor activity.

User Acknowledgment

By accessing and using the Unfens Rating Scale, users confirm that they:

  • Understand the methodology, intent, and limitations of the system.
  • Accept that ratings are for informational and comparative purposes only.
  • Assume full responsibility for any decisions made based on these evaluations.

Note: This disclaimer is part of Unfens' ongoing commitment to transparency, clarity, and integrity in the evaluation of outdoor experience providers.
