At ISM Waste & Recycling, we're delighted to announce that we have achieved ISO 9001, ISO 14001, and ISO 45001 certifications. These internationally recognised standards are a testament to our proud commitment to quality, sustainability, and health & safety in all areas of our operations.
This article explains what ISO certifications are, what these specific standards mean, and why achieving them is a huge milestone for ISM Waste & Recycling.
What Are ISO Certifications?
ISO is the "International Organisation for Standardisation." ISO is a globally recognised body that creates standards for companies to follow so that businesses operate efficiently, responsibly, and safely.
ISO certifications show that an organisation meets the high standards that they set in specific areas, providing reassurance to customers, employees, and partners alike.
The Standards We've Achieved
ISO 9001: Quality Management System - ISO 9001 sets the benchmark for quality management for a company, and we've had ISO 9001 for a number of years now. Achieving this certification means we have robust processes in place to make sure that we're consistently meeting customer expectations, delivering exceptional services, and continuously improving our operations. At ISM Waste & Recycling, we take pride in our quality of service, and we'll always go the extra mile for our customers.
ISO 14001: Environmental Management System - As a waste management company, the environment is a high priority for us, and protecting the environment as much as we possibly can through recycling and landfill diversion. This certification highlights our commitment to sustainability. ISO 14001 ensures that we minimise our environmental impact through efficient resource management, waste reduction, and adherence to strict environmental regulations.
ISO 45001: Occupational Health & Safety Management System - At ISM Waste & Recycling, the safety and well-being of our team are vital; we take health and safety very seriously. ISO 45001 certification reflects our dedication to creating a safe and healthy working environment, preventing accidents, and promoting a culture of safety across all levels of our organisation.
Why ISO Certifications Are Important to Us

- Sustainability Leadership: As a business committed to 90% landfill diversion and being carbon neutral by 2050, ISO 14001 perfectly aligns with our environmental goals and shows that we are committed to reducing landfill, maximising recycling, and protecting the environment.
- Team Well-being: ISO 45001 certification shows our responsibility towards our employees, ensuring their safety and satisfaction at work.
The Journey to Certification
Getting these certifications wasn't just a box-ticking exercise. It all involved a comprehensive evaluation of all of our processes, from our waste management services to our internal company policies.
We continually work collectively as a team to make meaningful changes to improve how we operate.
