SYDNEY – 27 September 2024 – Equifax is aware of a media report from A Current Affair and Nine in which Pacific Project Group (PPG) is identified as an iCIRT-rated builder.
We understand this report may have relied on a statement from PPG that makes this claim. However, this statement is inaccurate.
iCIRT rates entities on a 5-star scale, with 5 gold stars being the highest rating available. A business with 3 gold stars and above is classified as trustworthy, can publish on the iCIRT register and publicly claim to be iCIRT-rated.
Equifax confirms that PPG does not appear on the iCIRT public register.
For further enquiries about this matter, please contact Brad Walters, Head of Product and Rating Services at Equifax, at [email protected].
