National treasure David Attenborough delivered a truly heart-wrenching speech to the UN Security Council yesterday as he warned "it's already too late" to prevent the effects of climate change.

Attenborough went on to say that he doesn't envy the position that governments find themselves in because "we have left the stable and secure climatic period that gave birth to our civilisations".

He's calling for people to re-think their daily actions to help cut global emissions to "net zero". In order for us to achieve this, there needs to be a dramatic reduction in harmful gases and pollution being released into our atmosphere. So, we all need to take steps to live in more conscious, greener ways.

An eco-friendly certification option

Here at ISO Accelerator, we offer a remote ISO certification service that allows businesses to gain their certification while keeping emissions to a minimum.

Our service can be completed without anyone ever traveling to or from your business, meaning your certification with ISO Accelerator will have an overall lower impact on the environment than certifications provided by other (non-remote) assessment bodies.

We can help you develop a suitable management system, conduct an audit of this system, and award you your certificates remotely. Not only does this have some pretty considerable benefits during the COVID-19 pandemic, but it also has a positive impact on the environment. A real win-win!

Brexit seems to have been on everyone's minds for as long as we can remember, but it looks like things are finally coming to a head. At the beginning of January, MPs gave their backing for a withdrawal agreement bill that will see the UK leave the EU on January 31st. So, with this in mind, many UK businesses are starting to consider their relationship with the US.

The relationship between the UK and the USA has always been one of mutual support, but once Brexit is over with, we can expect this to strengthen even more. US president, Donald Trump is said to be "excited" about the closer post-Brexit relations that are likely to develop over the coming months. Meanwhile, our own Prime Minister is prioritising a trade deal with the US and plans to get this underway as soon as possible. 

At this point, there's no doubt that British and American businesses need to start evolving and creating closer ties. We may find we have an influx of US customers looking for British products and services and vice versa. So, how can you prepare your business?

Gain your ISO accreditation through ISO Accelerator!

If you do want to build business trades with the US, you'll benefit from gaining your ISO certification through ISO Accelerator. Why? because we are accredited by USAS, a company based in Florida, USA. American businesses (and customers) will have confidence in your quality management systems if they see you've been certified by us. Plus, when you choose to gain certification through us, you'll be able to gain your ISO certification in as little as 7 days! 

So, if you are not yet ISO certified, but you'd like to get the ball rolling pre-Brexit, simply use the buttons below to get started. If you'd like to speak to us directly, you can contact us here.

Total Waste Removal is a provider of waste/rubbish removal services to Hampshire and the surrounding areas. We have worked with Total Waste Removal before, helping them achieve their ISO 9001 certification in 2018. They recently contacted the ISO Accelerator team again to enquire about getting their ISO 14001 certification, and we were only too delighted to help!

What is ISO 14001 certification?

ISO 14001 is an international standard that demonstrates that a company is working to particular environmental standards. To do this, it lays out a framework that a company, like Total Waste Removal, can follow. Many companies opt to integrate this standard into their existing ISO 9001 standard to help them complete organisational goals. 

How will it impact their business?

With this valuable environmental certification under their belts, Total Waste Removal are far more likely to win bigger, more high-profile jobs with blue chip clients who deal with high quality and widely accepted products and services! It was a pleasure to work with Total Waste Removal again to help them achieve this.

If ISO 14001 certification would be beneficial to your business, don't hesitate to get in touch. Simply fill in our online application form and our team will be in touch!

While it may seem like every topic under the sun has its own designated day – from World Pasta Day to Squirrel Appreciation Day – it’s amazing that there are any days left over for topics of genuine importance. Luckily, there are and 9 June 2019 is one of them – World Accreditation Day!

What is World Accreditation Day?

This month, people around the world can soak up the certificatory goodness of World Accreditation Day on 9 June. While this may seem to be a tad niche for those outside the industry, it’s undoubtedly more beneficial than something like World Hat Day!

Regardless of its specialist slant, for those in the business of supply chains or procurement activities, it’s undoubtedly a day of notable significance and a chance to spread the word of the importance of accreditation.

A global initiative, World Accreditation Day is backed by Accreditation bodies from all over the world and set to be quite the fixture, promoting the value of accreditation, accredited conformity assessment and standards.

What to Expect from World Accreditation Day

National events are set to take place across the world in celebration of World Accreditation Day, with seminars and workshops taking place in key cities internationally.

Increased press and media coverage are also expected, helping to spread the word of how accreditation can not only help support businesses, government and regulators, but also how it can help shape the world for the better.

The Theme of World Accreditation Day 2019

The theme of this year’s WAD is “Adding Value to Supply Chains”, highlighting the importance and benefits of accreditation in the supply chain, notably the positive effects it has on supporting free trade, regulatory approval process and confidence in the supply chain across the globe.

With goods sourced from around the world, the significance of delivering confidence in supply chains is all the more important – making accreditation a fundamental component. Expect this ethos to be explored in depth, through a variety of educational mediums and interactive engagement.
