Quality

Quality - ISO 9001
Every organisation would like to improve the way it operates, whether that means increasing market share, driving down costs, managing risk more effectively or improving customer satisfaction. A quality management system gives you the framework you need to monitor and improve performance in any area you choose.

ISO 9001 is by far the world’s most established quality framework, currently being used by around 897,000 organisations in 170 countries worldwide, and sets the standard not only for quality management systems, but management systems in general.

It helps all kinds of organisations to succeed through improved customer satisfaction, staff motivation and continual improvement.

Environmental

Environmental - ISO 14001
ISO 14001 is an internationally accepted standard that sets out how you can go about putting in place an effective Environmental Management System. The standard is designed to address the balance between maintaining profitability and reducing environmental impact;
This means you can identify aspects of your business that impact on the environment and understand those environmental laws that are relevant to your situation.
Certification to ISO 14001 allows you to:
• Demonstrate a commitment to achieving legal and regulatory compliance to regulators and government
• Demonstrate your environmental commitment to stakeholders
• Demonstrate an innovative and forward thinking approach to customers and prospective employees
• Increase your access to new customers and business partners
• Better manage your environmental risks, now and in the future
• Potentially reduce public liability insurance costs
• Enhance your reputation
For particular industries, pressure is now being exerted by many large organisations who expect their suppliers to adopt environmentally-friendly practices and may mandate ISO 14001 certification as a requirement for a working relationship.

Safety

Safety - BS OHSAS 18001
ISO 18001 is a system to help you manage major accident risks and health and safety, achieve operational efficiency, provide assurance of management control and create confidence among stakeholders.
Many organisations are implementing an Occupational Health and Safety Management System (OHSMS) as part of their risk management strategy to address changing legislation and protect their workforce.

An OHSMS promotes a safe and healthy working environment by providing a framework that allows your organisation to consistently identify and control its health and safety risks, reduce the potential for accidents, aid legislative compliance and improve overall performance.

OHSAS 18001 has been designed to be compatible with ISO 9001 and ISO 14001, to help your organisation meet their health and safety obligations in an efficient manner.

Business Continuity - BS 25999
Continued operations in the event of a disruption, whether due to a major disaster or a minor incident, is a fundamental requirement for any organisation. BS 25999 has been developed to help you minimise the risk of such disruptions.

BS 25999 is suitable for any organisation, large or small, from any sector. It is particularly relevant for organisations which operate in high risk environments such as finance, telecommunications, transport and the public sector, where the ability to continue operating is paramount for the organisation itself and its customers and stakeholders.
