Demonstrate Your Commitment to Product, People and Planet
In this fast-paced world, today’s business leaders have a lot to juggle! Ensuring your products and services meet quality and safety standards, keeping your workers and workplaces safe, and contributing to the global effort to minimise the impact to the environment are all high on the agenda.
NSF offers a range of internationally recognized management system certifications, demonstrating your organization’s commitment to your products, your people and the planet.
Management System certification helps organizations adopt good practice, and improve quality and safety, supporting them to become more sustainable and more resilient. Independent certification and verification show your customers you meet specified standards and operate robust policies and procedures. In turn, this can help provide access to new markets.
Drive performance improvements for product, people and planet
ISO 9001, ISO 14001 and ISO 45001 help organizations improve their operations in key business areas, including products, people and the planet, garnering prominence and respect within numerous industries.
ISO 9001 is the world’s most widely adopted management system standard. It helps cultivate a culture of continual improvement with respect to quality in an organization. In some industries, it is a prerequisite to tender for contracts.
ISO 14001 is an excellent framework to holistically manage an organization’s environmental impact. In 2024, along with several other management system standards, it was amended to integrate climate change considerations into the standard. This was as a result of the ‘ISO’s Climate Commitment’ also known as ‘The London Declaration’.
As health and safety in the workplace rises up the corporate agenda, ISO 45O01 has gained momentum. It not only requires organizations to consider physical, chemical, or biological risks, it also requires organizations to consider ‘psychosocial’ risks such as workload, work hours and bullying. When published in 2018, it represented a shift in the thinking behind the management of health and safety in the workplace. Its predecessor was known as OHSAS 18001.
These standards improve business areas, including:
Product: ISO 9001 Quality Management | People: ISO 45001 Occupational Health & Safety Management | Planet: ISO 14001 Environmental Management |
|---|---|---|
| Helps ensure consistent repeatable quality of products and processes | Helps keep workers and workplaces safe | Helps reduce waste and minimize environmental impacts |
| Often required when bidding for tenders. | A legal or contractual requirement for many sectors and industries. | Earns the respect and trust of industry regulators, partners and the public. |
