Taking a Proactive Approach... Setting the Bar on Sound Business Management

As the business world continues to move toward global connectivity, an emerging trend for companies is the mandate to demonstrate sound business management. ISO 9001 and 14001 set elevated standards that define the integrity of a company, from the quality and efficiency of its day-to-day operations and output, to its impact on the environment. Implementing measures to meet and, where possible, exceed quality and environmental regulations can benefit all aspects of operations, including financing, insurance, marketing, regulatory and other areas of operations. Certification to both standards underscores Viridian Systems’ dedication to continually building and improving its management systems and to delivering world-class service to its clients. Accredited third-party verification audits to both standards provides additional credibility of our Quality and Environmental Management Systems (see: CCAS Americas – ccasamericas.samsbiz.com).

Business Benefits of ISO 9001 Quality Management System (QMS)

Viridian Systems has been certified as an ISO 9001 Quality Management System company since 1998. ISO 9001 certification defines requirements for all key processes in design, manufacture and distribution, such as monitoring manufacturing to ensure production of quality products; keeping records; checking outgoing product for defects; reviewing individual processes and the quality system itself for effectiveness; and facilitating continual improvement. In achieving certification to ISO 9001, Viridian Systems dedicated itself to:

  • Consistently replicating processes, procedures and documentation, which assures consistency in quality products and services
  • Implementing a formal process for complaint resolution, which can enhance the strength of a company’s warranty program and validates its intent to review and resolve all warranty issues
  • Performing a customer survey with all warranted sales, which provides clients with a voice to rate all aspects of the company’s performance

 

Business Benefits of ISO 14001 Environmental Management System (EMS)

Since 2007, Viridian Systems has been utilizing the tools of ISO 14001 certification to manage their environmental impact and to improve their operational performance. The neighbors, clients and industries Viridian Systems serves increasingly want evidence that the company not only produces high-quality products, but that it does so in a safe, responsible manner. An EMS provides a solid framework for meeting environmental challenges and operating a business responsibly. ISO 14001 EMS certification promotes:

  • An improved perception of key environmental issues by employees and a better (greener) public image of the organization
  • A more efficient use of energy and raw materials, resulting in less waste
  • Dependence on a system rather than the capabilities of the individuals to manage the environmental function of an organization
  • An improved ability to achieve compliance with state and federal regulations

 

Federal Guidelines: “Strengthening Federal Environmental, Energy, and Transportation Management”

Executive Order 13423 requires all federal agencies to follow guidelines to increase their environmental performance. Viridian Systems follows the same guiding principles as established in the Executive Order, operating its business “in an environmentally, economically and fiscally sound, integrated, continuously improving, efficient and sustainable manner.”

The International Organization of Standardization (ISO) 14000 series has become the model for developing an EMS and the supporting audit program. Achieving ISO 14001 certification has proven to help companies move from simply maintaining regulatory compliance to improving productivity and enhancing their competitive advantage.

An ISO 14001 EMS can inspire and motivate all members of an organization to become active agents in promoting environmental protection, resource conservation and improved efficiencies. When a company’s associates are challenged to think differently, the result is the creation of innovative products and services, which is a primary driver of economic growth. This makes ISO 14001 a powerful tool in which to invest.*
