Understanding ISO 9001 and ISO 14001
Before delving into what these certifications mean for South Group, let’s briefly understand what each standard represents.
ISO 9001: A Mark of Quality
ISO 9001 is the international standard for quality management systems (QMS). It provides a framework that ensures businesses provide consistently high-quality products and services. By adhering to ISO 9001 standards, companies demonstrate their commitment to meeting customer expectations and regulatory requirements, enhancing customer satisfaction, and continually improving their processes.
ISO 14001: Environmental Responsibility
ISO 14001 is the globally recognized standard for environmental management systems (EMS). It outlines a framework that a company can follow to set up an effective EMS, helping them reduce their environmental impact, comply with applicable laws and regulations, and improve their environmental performance. It’s about minimizing negative effects on the environment, fulfilling compliance obligations, and achieving continuous improvement in environmental performance.
