This can be particularly helpful for courier companies and businesses that are looking to bid for contracts and attract new client. ISO certification can help courier related businesses to:

By providing the framework needed to set, improve and monitor your own standards – courier companies are able to create a stronger, more resilient business that benefits from increased efficiency, productivity and profits.
Relevant ISO Certificates for Courier Companies
Each individual ISO certification maintains separate standards and criteria which are categorised numerically.
ISO 9001, ISO 14001 and ISO 45001 are relevant to courier companies and businesses within this industry.
ISO 9001
This powerful business improvement tool is an internationally recognized QMS (Quality Management system) suitable for organisations of any size.
ISO 9001 works by helping companies to:
- Continuously improve operations
- Streamline central processes
- Reduce overheads
- Compete in more bid proposals
- Win more new business contracts
- Increase customer satisfaction
- Construct a stronger, more sustainable business
- Maintain positive relationships with shareholders and supply chain
ISO 14001
The ISO 14001 environmental management system has become increasingly important – especially in today’s society with increasing concerns about the environmental impact that organisations have at both a local and international level.
This tool is used to help companies proactively manage the environmental impact of their activities before they become an issue as opposed to afterwards.
ISO 4001 provides the framework that courier businesses need to take charge of their immediate and long term environmental impact relating to things such as products, processes, goods and services. This can help organisations to:
- Minimise their environmental footprint
- Reduce the risk of pollution and related incidents
- Indicate potential operational improvements
- Guarantee compliance with relevant environmental legislation
- Ensure the business develops in a sustainable way
ISO 45001
This rigorous international standard for health and safety is applicable to businesses of all sizes and operational scope across a wide range of industries. ISO 45001 provides a robust and effective set of processes designed to integrate the ISO with Occupational Health and Safety (OH&S) Management System and improve work safety in global supply chains.
With ISO standards in place, organisations can expect to benefit from improvements to work related injuries, health issues relating to work, employee safety, staff wellbeing and overall OH&S performance.
