ISO 9000 What are the benefits
Most organisations want ISO 9000 certification to qualify for a tender or to achieve preferred supplier status: typically for a Local Authority. However, there are many other benefits that can be added to these, including:-
- Improved internal working leading to less errors and re-work.
- Improved customer satisfaction and loyalty.
- Improved morale and motivation.
- Preferential insurance premiums.
- Competitive advantage.
- Increased profitability.
- Enhanced status.
In addition, ISO 9000 is designed to be compatible with other management system standards such as ISO 14001 (Environmental), OHSAS 18001 (Health and Safety) and ISO 27001 (Information Security). All or any combination of these complementary standards can be integrated seamlessly. They share many principles, so choosing an integrated management system can provide you with outstanding value for money.
If you would like an integrated management system, comprising all or a combination of standards, simply let us know your requirements and we will work with you to develop the right solution for your needs.
ISO 14001 What is it?
ISO 14001 was first published as a standard in 1996 and it specifies the requirements for an organisation's environmental management system. It applies to those environmental aspects over which an organisation has control and where it can be expected to have an influence.
Benefits of ISO 14001
By having your organisation's environmental management system independently assessed by the British Accreditation Bureau, you will be making a powerful statement about your organisation's environmental credentials.
Other benefits of ISO 14001 certification include:
- Better management of environmental risks, now and in the future
- Increased access to new customers and business partners
- Demonstration of legal and regulatory compliance
- Potential for reduced public liability insurance costs
- Overall cost savings
