Quality Management System

The ISO 9001:2015 is a standard that outlines the requirements of a quality management system in a business. A quality management system refers to the processes a business uses to maintain and improve customer experience and satisfaction. The certification process has a strict customer focus and ensures that applicable businesses put their customers first.

When Kerfoot achieved ISO 9001:2015 certification, it meant that our business had met the following key criteria:

An organisation must prove an ability to consistently meet customer and statutory standards in their supply of goods and services.
An organisation must aim to improve client experience and satisfaction through an effective quality management system. This includes assessing the system and making improvements according to consumer requirements and statutory standards.

At Kerfoot, we have a quality management system in place for the benefit of our clients. This system has been developed to ensure our goals as an organisation are being met. Our approach includes a continuous focus on the diverse Kerfoot client base and improving processes to meet their needs. Customer satisfaction is a priority and we are pleased that our focused efforts are now recognised.

Environmental Management System

The ISO 14001:2015 is a standard that outlines the requirements for an organisation’s environmental management system. An environmental management system refers to the processes and strategies a business has in place with the aim of conservation and protection. The system must involve documentation of an organisation’s environmental efforts and plans for maintaining environmental strategy throughout the business. The goal of enhancing environmental performance is a key factor in this certification.

When Kerfoot attained ISO 14001:2015 certification, it meant that our business had met the following key criteria:

The business has a system in place that encourages enhancement of environmental performance.
The organisation is compliant with environmental obligations.
The company achieves its environmental objectives.

We are proud that our longstanding environmental efforts have been recognised. With this official certification, we can continue to invest in environmental solutions and encourage eco-friendly projects. At Kerfoot, we are passionate about sustainability. Our approach includes taking on projects that are environmentally conscious, providing energy saving solutions for clients, and encouraging awareness in our peers.
