Our Accreditations
World Accreditation
9. Jun 2022. Sustainability in economic growth and the environment thanks to accreditations
The success of the global economy depends on the availability of and access to natural resources, which requires sustainable management.
World Accreditation Day (WAD) 2022 highlights how accreditation helps organizations operate sustainably and protect the environment.
Accreditations as a global guideline for sustainable management
Water scarcity, loss of biodiversity and an increasing number of environmental disasters: We are already feeling the effects on our environment of past reckless behaviours.
Sustainability is more important than ever, and a rapid rethink is essential. That is why the United Nations has set goals and targets for sustainable development in its Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs).
Accreditations and quality infrastructure are not only the basis for many of these requirements, but also support organizations from the very beginning. They help to ensure that specified standard requirements for products and services are respected.
Credibility and competitiveness with the help of certifications
Seals and certificates show partner companies and customers that organizations not only claim to operate sustainably, but actually do so.
Neutral Conformity Assessment Bodies (CABs) verify that the necessary processes and control mechanisms are in place and that resources are deployed effectively.
At the same time, certification helps foster high standards of quality and sustainability in business practices worldwide.
Find the right certification
Depending on the industry, the size of the company, the region in which it operates, or the company’s internal focus, organizations can choose from a variety of standards and also combine or supplement them with others.
Globally recognized standards such as ISO 14001 (environmental management system) or ISO 50001 (energy management system) offer detailed guidelines that companies can adapt.
In addition, these standards can be combined with other management system standards, such as ISO 9001 (quality management) or ISO 45001 occupational health and safety) thanks to their High-Level Structure (HLS).
