EQTEC PLC has announced that it has achieved certification against three groups of standards set by the International Organisation for Standardisation (ISO). The certifications include ISO 9001 for Quality Management, ISO 14001 for Environmental Management, and ISO 45001 for Occupational Health & Safety. The ISO 9001 certification establishes and improves a quality management system, which will increase client and supplier confidence in EQTEC's quality management. The ISO 14001 certification helps the company manage and control environmental issues, ensuring compliance with regulatory requirements and meeting strategic objectives outlined in its Environmental, Social and Governance (ESG) Statement. The ISO 45001 certification focuses on establishing and maintaining safe and healthy workplaces for EQTEC's staff working on construction sites and visiting client locations. The certifications were established in an integrated fashion and will support the company's future growth and scale.
Yoel Alemán, CTO of EQTEC, commented on the achievement, stating, "This has been a comprehensive and highly iterative process for us that has resulted in a successful set of certifications for our business. I am proud of the team's efforts and collective action to achieve these and believe that our continuous improvement of our standards into the future will support higher quality work and therefore business success." Jeff Vander Linden, COO of EQTEC, added, "On the one hand, the top-tier customers and suppliers we are targeting expect such certifications from their partners; but on the other hand, the hard work invested by the team in these certifications also supports our execution capability and establishment of a standard platform for more rapid growth and scale in future."
