What is ISO 44001?
Collaborative working gives you access to more services, more opportunities to win work and the resources to compete for bigger contracts. The internationally recognised standard ISO 44001 provides a framework for collaborative business relationships that an organisation of any size and sector can apply to get the very most out of its business relationships (e.g. strategic business partnerships, client, customer or supplier relationships, shared services, consortia and alliances) and uses the common ISO management system structure, enabling easy integration with other management system standards e.g. ISO 9001.
