Examples of what we are really good at (if we may say so ourselves)
Tools and methods - to make your company more sustainable is definitely not just something for big business. Environmental impact, quality defects. workplace injury/illness and other social dimensions of sustainability, in your operations, at suppliers or customers is equally important for smaller companies and organizations.
Audits and GAP analyses - that adds real business value and not just a few more findings against a standard regardless if it is about ISO 9001, ISO 14001, OHSAS 18001, ISO 50001, ISO 26001 or an even wider sustainable development scope. Prepare and simplify the adaptation to the new standards on quality, environment and health & safety by identifying what needs to change.
Management systems for 2020 - with focus on actual and major improvements of your performance. Local, multi-site, global or integrated systems, 6DS has long experience with all of these from a user perspective and is currently working as technical experts in the ongoing international development of both the new ISO 14001 and ISO 45001 (OHSAS 18001).
Mentoring, coaching and training - How to get management attention? What am I doing wrong? Where can I find information? How do I get everyone on-board? Which standard or certification body should we go for? What does the new ISO standards mean for our operations? Use our knowledge and experience and avoid doing all the mistakes we have done.
