Management standards on the rise

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.

ISO 9001 takes the crown

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.

Increasing focus on environmental management

Just over 1,000 Belgian organisations an ISO 14001 certificate for environmental management. The 5 percent increase compared to last year demonstrates the growing willingness of our organisations take responsibility for the environment—and to do their part for sustainable development. After all, organisations implement the ISO 14001 standard contribute to no fewer than 12 of the 17 SDGs, or Sustainable Development Goals, set by the United Nations.

Doubling up for ISO 45001

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.
