EQTEC plc
("EQTEC", the "Company" or the "Group")
Achievement of ISO 9001, ISO 14001 and ISO 45001
certifications
EQTEC plc (AIM: EQT), a global technology innovator powering
distributed, decarbonised, new energy infrastructure through its
waste-to-value solutions for hydrogen, biofuels, and energy
generation, is pleased to announce that it has successfully
achieved certification against three groups of standards set by the
International Organisation for Standardisation ("ISO"), comprising
ISO 9001 for Quality Management, ISO 14001 for Environmental
Management and ISO 45001 for Occupational Health & Safety.
The ISO 9001 certification is well known for its establishment,
testing and continuous improvement of a quality management system
("QMS") that aligns resources and effort across the enterprise on
collective delivery of customer outcomes, execution efficiency for
the business and mitigation of execution risks. The Company's
achievement of the certification is expected to increase client and
supplier confidence in EQTEC's quality management and the Company's
establishment and integration of a QMS-based way of working will
support future growth and scale through consistent application of
standards across its multinational business.
The ISO 14001 certification helps organisations identify,
manage, monitor and control their environmental issues in a
holistic manner through an environmental management system ("EMS").
Similar to the QMS, the EMS provides assurance to Company
management that it will comply and can remain compliant with
statutory and regulatory requirements, also ensuring that its
strategic objectives as outlined in its Environmental, Social and
Governance ("ESG") Statement will be met consistently and
efficiently. The Company announced its ESG Statement in January
2022 and updated on its activities with it in its annual results
published in May 2023.
The ISO 45001 certification specifies requirements for an
occupational health and safety management system toward
establishment and maintenance of safe and healthy workplaces. Its
aims are to improve occupational health and safety, eliminate
hazards and minimize risks for people in the workplace. This is
especially important for the Company as a provider of
infrastructure technology with staff working around the world on
construction sites and with regular travel and visits to client
locations essential to their roles.
The three certifications and their component management systems
are highly complementary and were established in an integrated
fashion. The preparation and certification process, undertaken in
collaboration with a third-party assessment and consulting agency,
lasted nearly one year and culminated in a four-day review of
EQTEC's systems with feedback on areas for development and
improvement. The certifications are in effect as of 24 October
2023.
Yoel Alemán, CTO of EQTEC, commented:
"This has been a comprehensive and highly iterative process for
us that has resulted in a successful set of certifications for our
business. I am proud of the team's efforts and collective action to
achieve these and believe that our continuous improvement of our
standards into the future will support higher quality work and
therefore business success."
Jeff Vander Linden, COO of EQTEC, commented:
"On the one hand, the top-tier customers and suppliers we are
targeting expect such certifications from their partners; but on
the other hand, the hard work invested by the team in these
certifications also supports our execution capability and
establishment of a standard platform for more rapid growth and
scale in future."
