Charity ISO Certification

Will an ISO Certification work for your charity?

ISO Certification helps charities to demonstrate that they are well run organisations. Verification by independent, impartial external auditors from UKAS accredited Certification Bodies gives the extra level of governance that many stakeholders require.

2SB work with charities to help them adapt their well developed systems to meet the requirements of a range of ISO standards - quality (ISO 9001), information security (ISO 27001), health & safety (ISO 45001) and environmental (ISO 14001) management systems all find their home in charitable and non profit organisations.

There are many benefits to ISO certification including improved stakeholder relationships and the ability to secure new funding through demonstratable governance.

Using an ISO Consultant like 2SB makes the acquisition of the ISO standard easier to achieve and can ensure you add value to your business.

Organisational Management

ISO 9001 covers the core processes of any successful organisation and is what your stakeholders expect you to be doing to be an effective charity.

In order to be effective, management need to consider the impact that risk has on your charity, and we can give you the tools to guide you in this area. Having a well run business can have huge positive impacts on your ability to deliver upon your objectives.

  • Establish consistent processes that allow scalability across multiple units
  • Enhance support procedures to ensure staff are trained and competent

Environmental Management

Some charities work in environments that require extensive consideration for the natural environment. With the ever greater awareness on our enviromental impact, charities need to demonstrate that they have consistent plans to reduce their effect.

Having ISO 14001 can help you reduce your impact and demonstrate that the good that you are trying to achieve extends beyond just the principal deliverables of your organisation.

  • ISO 14001 supports your requirement for Corporate Social Responsibility
  • The standard provides tools to ensure compliance with key environmental legislation

Information Security

Most charities handle highly sensitive data of both donors and beneficiaries. Effective data management systems are essential to prevent a breach of this data which could do lasting damage to your reputation.

ISO 27001 is the leading industry standard to provide this protection and considers many different aspects of human and technical security.

  • The controls you put in place need to be right for the size of your organisation - this is where our guidance comes in
  • These effective controls also need to be updated as you and your risks evolve and we can help with ongoing business support
