Salto underlined its commitment to quality and the environment by passing the ISO 9001 and ISO 14001 audits, which are designed to evaluate businesses in two key areas.
Salto has once again underlined its commitment to quality and the environment, successfully coming through the ISO 9001 and ISO 14001 audits, which are designed to evaluate businesses in these two key areas and certify compliance with international standards.
Furthermore, the organization has over the past year celebrated a new milestone, as Salto Ireland’s offices were granted the certifications for the first time.
Salto would like to congratulate its Irish arm on this significant achievement, and thank the entire organization for impressive results across the board. The audits were passed with zero instances of non-conformance, a reflection of the hard work and dedication of our amazing workforce.
Quality benchmark
“Obtaining this double certification helps us to set the benchmark in two key ways: both in terms of our commitment to quality, and in how we monitor and improve on the environmental impact of our products and processes,” explained Ricardo García, ESG and Quality Manager at SALTO WECOSYSTEM.
The ISO 9001 and ISO 14001 certifications guarantee that Salto complies with all quality and environmental management regulations provided for in these standards. They also offer further proof of SALTO WECOSYSTEM's commitment to continuous improvement.
As García underlined, “Continuous improvement drives us to go beyond the demands of the standards, focusing on the SDGs, carbon offsetting and ecodesign.”
Obligation to protect the environment
Salto considers quality and environmental protection as an obligation the company has to its customers, the environment and all of its stakeholders. Successfully passing these audits at our corporate headquarters, the Salto Oiartzun manufacturing plant in Spain, and at Salto Ireland, means the company can continue to offer maximum guarantees to its partners and customers.
The ISO 9001 and 14001 standards
The ISO 9001 standard sets out the requirements that must be met by companies' quality management systems. Obtaining the certification is proof that SALTO WECOSYSTEM is working to:
- Develop a management plan based on strategic guidelines, framed within a global sustainability strategy that focuses on minimizing risks and improving processes.
- Measure customer and partner satisfaction in order to respond better to their needs and enhance their overall experience.
Meanwhile, the ISO 14001 standard establishes the criteria to be met by environmental management systems and is a way for companies to demonstrate their environmental commitment. In that regard, SALTO WECOSYSTEM is working hard to:
- Ensure strict compliance with all applicable environmental legislation and standards.
- Guarantee its commitment to implementing a life cycle analysis of its products and services.
- Minimize the environmental impact of all activity in the environments in which it operates.
