The recent acquisition of ISO14001 and ISO45001 certifications by four of our UK-based companies marks a pivotal moment in their commitment to excellence. These accreditations, alongside ISO9001, signify a dedication to quality, safety, and sustainability. Led by a culture of continuous improvement, they promise a future of heightened standards and unwavering dedication to excellence.
Securing ISO14001 and ISO45001 accreditations is pivotal for all four UK companies, bolstering trust and brand integrity by confirming that our management systems align with the standards set by the International Organisation for Standardisation.
These certifications aren't just badges; they help our companies move towards enhanced environmental sustainability and occupational health and safety performance. ISO45001 mandates a systematic approach to identify, evaluate, and mitigate risks, ensuring workplace safety and health. Meanwhile, ISO14001 empowers us to set environmental objectives, optimising resource utilisation, and minimising waste generation.
The attainment of the Triple Crown, comprising ISO14001, ISO45001, and quality management standards, is paramount. It not only fosters long-term business impact but also reinforces our commitment to sustainability and safety.
These accreditations promise greater efficiency, sustainability, and risk management, offering a competitive edge and fostering trust within the industry. They serve as entry tickets to collaborations with like-minded partners, as they are increasingly viewed as essential.
Continuous improvement is at the core of our ethos. We pledge to embed these standards into our operations, ensuring that our commitment remains unwavering and integral to our future endeavours.
Securing the "triple crown" of ISO certifications communicates a powerful message, signalling our dedication to quality and reliability. It assures both customers and the industry of our adherence to stringent international standards, strengthening our brand integrity and instilling confidence in our services.
Statement
"Following a recent series of audits by LRQA I’m pleased to announce that all four UK based companies have been awarded the (ISO) International Standards Organisation 14001 Environmental certificate and the 45001 Health and Safety certificate.
It’s a fantastic achievement for the whole team, who have all been working hard towards achieving this goal for the past year, this result and these accreditations confirm that our companies have adopted and implemented best practice in both the management of Health and Safety and a sustainable environmental practice.
Across every level of the business, our Health and Safety policies are engrained and embedded in all our decision making and in our everyday working processes and procedures.
Our environmental accreditation will not only help with our progression towards our carbon neutral goal but will also show that through our journey to achieve carbon neutrality and beyond we’re fully committed to monitor, control, and minimise our environmental impact.
These new standards work in conjunction with our existing ISO9001 quality accreditation thus helping us to provide both a product and service to all our customers that meets their expectations and requirements as well as our own.
The addition of these new accreditations equates to the companies now having the prestigious ISO triple crown, whilst it’s a testament to all the hard work and dedication that our team puts in on a daily basis, and its recognition that across the whole of the business we achieve such high standards we’re fully aware that this is just the start of the journey, and maintaining the standards will require further continuous commitment and effort whilst we’re constantly looking at how we can improve even further."
