The Benefits of ISO Certification
ISO certification offers you a combination of business and marketing tools. Achieving your standards will deliver improvements to your organisation, and it will also strengthen your ability to tender for new contracts and retain existing clients.
Win new business
ISO certification can help to make your organisation even more impressive to prospective clients and help you tender for new contracts. Of our clients who achieved ISO 9001 certification, 62% qualified for, or won new business as a result. And 25% of those who achieved ISO 14001 reported qualifying for, or winning, new business purely as a result of their certification.
Impress existing clients
Winning new business is important, but retaining your existing clients is just as vital for your bottom line. Achieving ISO certification demonstrates to them that you’re constantly striving to be the best in your field and to provide them with an unmatched service. 13% of our clients who achieved ISO 9001 certification report that they retained contracts solely on the strength of their certification.
Enjoy efficiency savings
Improvements to your organisation’s efficiency doesn’t just impress your clients, but it can deliver you savings too. Aside from reducing wasteful inefficiency, achieving a certification in something like ISO 14001 can lead to incredible savings, with the potential for £5000 per £m turnover efficiency savings.
Easily demonstrate compliance
UKAS-accredited ISO certification serves as a badge to prove that your organisation operates to the highest standards and has the systems and processes in place to be able to maintain them. Among the requirements for ISO certification is demonstrating that you are aware of the necessary legislation that might impact your business and that you have processes in place to achieve and maintain compliance with those regulations. UKAS-accredited ISO certification is a way to demonstrate to potential customers and other stakeholders that you have the necessary measures in place.
There are other, more specific benefits to achieving ISO certification. For example, one of the key benefits of ISO 27001 is giving customers confidence that you will not misuse their data. This is reassuring to both your customers and your staff.
Equally, knowing that you have achieved ISO 45001 will make it clear to those working for you that you take their health and safety seriously and give them confidence in you as an employer.
Save even more time
By working towards multiple ISO certificates at once, you can reduce costs and site visits. And, because our ISO certificates are based on the same framework, it’s wise to complement your achievement with further certification for even greater benefits.
