ISO, which stands for the International Organisation for Standardisation, is an independent and non-governmental organisation that gathers experts worldwide to establish consensus on optimal practices across various domains, ranging from product manufacturing to process management.
The international standard for compliance management systems is ISO 37301:2021, guiding organisations in legal and regulatory adherence. This standard offers a structured framework for establishing, implementing, maintaining, and continually improving an effective compliance management system.
At its core, ISO 37301:2021 is designed to assist organisations in identifying and addressing legal and regulatory requirements that govern overall business processes, fostering a comprehensive understanding of product compliance throughout all levels of the organisation.
Moreover, ISO 37301:2021 recognises the significance of leadership and commitment at all levels of an organisation. Top management is encouraged to play an active role in promoting a culture of compliance, setting the tone for the entire organisation. This involvement helps create an environment where employees grasp the importance of compliance and are empowered to contribute to its success.
The certification process involves a thorough evaluation of the organisation's compliance management system, checking its effectiveness in identifying, addressing, and preventing compliance issues. This evaluation is an ongoing process, aligning with the commitment to continuous improvement at Kingspan Insulation NZ. The standard sets a high bar for accountability, transparency, and the overall integrity of the organisation's compliance efforts.
