Codelocks, a specialist in access control solutions, has successfully achieved ISO 14001 and ISO 45001 certifications, underscoring its commitment to meeting stringent supply chain requirements and enhancing its focus on environmental, health, and safety standards.
These certifications assure Codelocks' clients of the company’s dedication to responsible practices, regulatory adherence, and ongoing process improvements.
Environmental and Safety Standards
These standards help customers fulfill escalating compliance demands within their supply chains
The certification for ISO 14001 covers environmental management, while ISO 45001 pertains to occupational health and safety management. Together, they provide Codelocks’ customers with increased confidence in engaging with a supplier that demonstrates accountability and ethical business operations.
These standards help customers fulfill escalating compliance demands within their supply chains and support architectural ironmongers, specifiers, and other suppliers in meeting client requirements through evidence of working with certified partners.
Commitment to Quality and Improvement
Colin Campbell, CEO of Codelocks International, stated, "Around the world customers are looking for more when they buy from their supply chain partners."
He noted the company's rigorous approach to process improvement, which aids clients in satisfying these requirements and potentially securing new business. He added that the certifications reaffirm the trust customers have in the quality and consistency of Codelocks' offerings.
Focus on Sustainability
Paul Campbell, who manages Technical, Quality, and Sustainability at Codelocks, highlighted the importance of sustainability in the industry, mentioning economic, environmental, and social aspects as central to their approach.
By complying with these standards, Codelocks enhances its duty of care across its business network and aligns with broader planetary welfare.
Ongoing Compliance and Improvements
Compliance with ISO certifications involves adhering to various local regulations, systematic monitoring, and implementing improvements. These also necessitate regular reporting and a demonstrated commitment from leadership to uphold ISO principles.
Codelocks secured its certifications following in-depth audits that assessed elements such as supply chain efficiency, recycling efforts, and employee mental health support.
Strategic and Sustainable Growth
Colin Campbell remarked on the importance of these certifications in signifying the strategic direction of Codelocks as a global entity. He emphasized the role of values like family and sustainability in shaping the company culture and influencing its global leadership, particularly in the areas of people, planet, and processes.
In addition to these recent certifications, Codelocks also holds ISO 9001 for quality management and has CE markings for various locks and latches within its product range.
Codelocks, an access control specialist, has received two ISO certifications that help its customers to meet supply chain requirements, while also signalling the organisation’s widening commitment to people, the planet, and processes.
The recognised standards certifications – environmental management (ISO 14001), and occupational health and safety management (ISO 45001) – provide Codelocks’ customers peace of mind they are working with a supplier that is committed to responsible business practices, regulatory compliance and continuous improvement.
Quality access control products
Codelocks’ customers can now specify a broad range of quality access control products, while also meeting the increasing number of compliance and regulatory demands in their supply chains.
Together, the certifications help Codelocks’ customers prove their due diligence in supplier selection, and make it easier for architectural ironmongers, specifiers, and industrial and equipment suppliers to meet their own clients' demands by showing they work with certified and ethical suppliers.
Consistency and quality
Commenting on the certifications, Colin Campbell, CEO at Codelocks International, said: “Around the world customers are looking for more when they buy from their supply chain partners.”
“By taking on the challenging process of analysing, documenting, and continually improving so many of our processes, our customers will find it easier to meet these needs and potentially win work. More than that, these certifications are acknowledgement of something our customers have long recognised: they can trust in the consistency and quality of our products and services.”
Pillars of sustainability
Paul Campbell, Technical, Quality and Sustainability Manager at Codelocks, said: “The central pillars of sustainability are economic, environmental, and social. We have been working to demonstrate our commitment to these pillars, which have become a major requirement for tenders or contracts within the door hardware sector.”
“By taking on this responsibility, we’re demonstrating that Codelocks’ duty of care extends to every business we come into contact with, alongside the people who work in them and the planet we all share.”
ISO certifications
ISO certifications, of all types, require compliance with a range of local legislations and regulations, alongside process monitoring, analysis, improvements, and change management and communication.
Each certification requires continual improvements and regular reporting, while business leaders must also demonstrate their commitment to the various ISO systems in place. Codelocks’ certifications follow several rigorous audits, focusing on a wide spectrum of factors ranging from the business’s supply chains, recycling capabilities, and even mental health support for its team.
Strategic direction
Colin Campbell added: “These ISO certifications are a signal of our strategic direction as a global organisation, and a recognition of the amazing workplace and culture that our employees benefit from. With family and sustainability as our core values, we continue to lead by example when it comes to people, planet and processes.”
Codelocks also has ISO 9001 (quality management) and CE markings for a range of its locks and latches.
