Announcing FACTION’s ISO 9001:2015, ISO 14001:2015, and ISO 45001:2018 certifications

Earlier in the year,  FACTION defined some simple guiding philosophies for our organisation: operate as a global best-in-class consultancy; be carbon conscious and aim for carbon neutrality by 2025; and create and maintain zero harm workplaces for our people.

To help us to achieve these ambitions we implemented a comprehensive Integrated Management System (IMS), which we are pleased to share has received international recognition through the award of three prestigious certificates from QMS; ISO 9001:2015 (quality); ISO 14001:2015 (environmental); and ISO 45001:2018 (OH&S).

The certifications demonstrate FACTION’s commitment to continual improvement and efficient processes, but also our desire to support the highest quality project standards and creation of healthy, happy, and safe environments for all of our people. Benefits of the certified processes will flow-on across the business for years, and importantly onto clients’ businesses and projects.

The FACTION IMS is underpinned by three streams of policies, procedures, and processes:

Operate as Best-in-Class

(ISO 9001:2015 - Quality)

We are one company and proudly operate a flat structure with no silos or extensive hierarchy. Through quality management, our system is designed to support this structure, maintain an open-door culture, and sustain the flexibility that makes FACTION people amazing at what they do. By implementing and monitoring a business and client focussed IMS, we can continually challenge ourselves to do better, measure value generated, and strive to be ‘best-in-class’.

Be Carbon Neutral by 2025

(ISO 14001:2015 - Environmental)

The global community must act fast on the climate crisis. In recognition and action on this critical need, we have introduced the goal of targeting carbon neutrality by 2025 across the business. To achieve environmental neutrality, we are implementing numerous sustainability measures and considering environmental aspects and opportunities in all areas of risk management.

Provide ZERO Harm workplaces

(ISO 45001:2018 – Occupational Health and Safety)

We stand by our people first purpose. This is why the health and safety of our people remains a top FACTION priority. Our IMS is designed to support an effective safety culture that reduces workplace risks through proactive occupational health and safety management procedures. Achieving the ISO 45001:2018 stands as a testament to the standard of FACTION’s health and safety practices and obligations to ensuring the wellbeing of every person in our growing community.
