Kingspan a world first in acquiring ISO 37301 accreditation

Posted By Neilas Svilpa, 29 September 2022

Kingspan Klargester has become the first water management solutions manufacturer in the world to get ISO 37301 accreditation.  This new standard has been designed to offer organisations clear guidance and direction around effective compliance management.

The introduction of the accreditation has been widely welcomed, particularly as it comes at a time when non-compliance with legally binding standards by a business is likely to be catastrophic.

The accreditation specifies the requirements for establishing, developing, implementing, evaluating, maintaining, and improving an effective compliance management system across a business.  It focuses on the development and application of robust compliance policies, all of which is expected to reduce rule violations – as well as the financial penalties and reputational damage that typically follow.

Kingspan’s decision to roll out this accreditation across its global business is in-line with the company’s values and its determination both to deliver quality products and to set challenging performance standards.

The accreditation also underlines the organisation’s belief in close market regulation, particularly where this is employed to protect customer interests.

It also supports the company’s commitment to Planet Passionate, its 10-year, group-wide, global sustainability strategy, which aims to impact on three big global issues: climate change, circularity, and protection of the natural world.

The roll-out across the Kingspan Klargester business began with its British and Irish facilities and will soon extend across all the divisional sites in Europe.
“Our decision to get accreditation is based on the belief that we should always strive for better in areas such as governance, integrity, accountability, transparency and sustainability, all of which lie at the heart of this standard,” says Water Business Unit Director David Anderson.

“Compliance management is deeply embedded into our working practices, and we firmly believe this should be the case right across our industry.

“The ISO 37301 is the gold-standard for compliance management, and we’d like to encourage everyone working in the water sector to consider applying it to their business.”
