Global Certification Program
| Managing Certification With a Global Approach Challenged with the management of multi-sites or multi-scheme management systems, Global Companies today need a cost-effective solution that provides a better overview of operations and a common approach to processes.
A global certification program is managed globally and centrally and often by one certification body. There are several types of Global Certification Programs: - Site-by-Site Certification - Integrated Management Systems: one management system to manage multiple aspects of organizational performance to meet the requirements of more than one management system standard (eg. ISO9001, ISO 14001, OHSAS 18000….) - Multi-Sites Certification: different sites with a common management system monitored by internal audits - It is also possible to have both multi-site and integrated certification.
There are three main benefits of a Global Certification Program: - Consistency: Consistent approach to auditing and standardized reporting - Benchmarking: The benchmarking of all sites through a central, holistic business overview to highlight good practices as well as areas to be addressed to reduce risk exposure - Cost Reduction and Time Savings: Audit volume optimization with 10%to 30% reduction in audit costs
