Interlinking
Social, environmental, health and safety, quality and technical requirements are linked
A health and safety finding often touches working conditions, the environment and quality as well. We look at these topics together, so one audit, one management system or one action plan can answer several customer and legal requirements.
- Social
- Environmental
- Health and safety
- Quality
- Technical
- Management systems
