The International Organisation for Standardisation (ISO) announced the results of its annual global survey of management standards certification. Twelve international management standards went under the microscope.
In Belgium, the ISO 9001 standard for quality management remains the most certified. No fewer than 2,887 Belgian companies currently have ISO 9001 certification. All of them decided to commit to quality management within their organisation and to make customer satisfaction a priority.
Just over 1,000 Belgian organizations have ISO 14001 environmental management certification. The 5 percent increase over last year shows the growing willingness of our organizations to assume their environmental responsibilities. And to do their bit for sustainable development. Because organizations that apply the ISO 14001 standard contribute to no less than 12 of the 17 SDGs or sustainable development goals of the United Nations.
The biggest increase in the number of certifications is for the ISO 45001 standard for health and safety at work. Thanks to a growth of 108% compared to last year, 308 Belgian companies are now committed to offering safe and healthy workplaces. And to prevent work-related accidents and illnesses.
To properly master these popular standards, you can take training.
