Qwello UK achieved four key ISO certifications—14001, 9001, 27001, and 22301—demonstrating its commitment to sustainability, quality, information security, and business continuity in EV charging.

In a significant milestone Qwello UK has been awarded four key ISO certifications: ISO 14001, ISO 9001, ISO 27001, and ISO 22301. These internationally recognised certifications highlight the company’s commitment to excellence across environmental sustainability, quality management, information security, and business continuity.

The ISO 14001 certification is a globally recognised standard for environmental management systems (EMS). Achieving this certification demonstrates that the CPO has integrated sustainable practices into its operations. With the growing focus on reducing carbon footprints and environmental impacts, this certification signifies our proactive approach to minimising the environmental consequences of its charge points and supply chain operations.

We have implemented several initiatives, including using recyclable materials, optimising energy consumption in its charging units, and minimising waste during installations. These efforts align with the broader goal of supporting the UK’s transition to net-zero emissions and underscore our commitment to driving sustainability in the EV infrastructure space.

Achieving ISO 9001 certification for quality management systems (QMS) is a testament to our dedication to delivering high-quality products and services. This certification demonstrates that we have established robust processes to ensure that its charging points consistently meet customer and regulatory requirements.

ISO 9001 focuses on improving customer satisfaction through effective quality management processes, including continuous improvement, risk-based thinking, and strong leadership. For us, this means that every installation, service, and maintenance operation is designed to achieve the highest standards, ensuring reliable and efficient charging experiences for EV drivers across the UK.

With the increasing digitalisation of EV charging services and the rise of connected technologies, information security has become a critical concern for CPOs. By obtaining ISO 27001 certification, we have demonstrated that it has implemented comprehensive information security management systems (ISMS) to protect sensitive data and mitigate cybersecurity risks.

ISO 27001 certification covers various aspects of information security, including data encryption, access control, and vulnerability management. For EV drivers and local authorities, this means enhanced protection of personal data, secure payment systems, and the assurance that the company is committed to safeguarding its digital infrastructure against cyber threats.

ISO 22301 certification for business continuity management systems (BCMS) highlights our preparedness to handle disruptions and ensure continuous service delivery. This is particularly crucial in the EV charging industry, where any downtime can have significant consequences for both customers and public transport systems.

The certification ensures that we have established plans to deal with potential disruptions, such as power outages, cyberattacks, or supply chain interruptions. Through effective risk assessment, response strategies, and recovery planning, the company can maintain the reliability of its charging infrastructure, even in unforeseen circumstances.

By securing ISO 14001, 9001, 27001, and 22301 certifications, Qwello UK is setting a new benchmark for the electric vehicle charging sector. These certifications not only demonstrate our commitment to environmental sustainability, quality, security, and resilience but also provide assurance to local authorities, partners, and EV drivers that they are working with a trusted and forward-thinking provider.

As the demand for EV charging infrastructure continues to grow across the UK, we focus on meeting the highest industry standards and position ourselves as a leader in the transition to sustainable and secure transportation. The certifications mark a significant step forward in Qwello UK’s mission to deliver reliable, eco-friendly, and safe charging solutions, ensuring a future-ready EV network for all.

In an industry where trust, reliability, and sustainability are paramount, Qwello UK’s achievements in obtaining these four certifications signal its unwavering commitment to building a better and greener future for all.
