Ocean prides itself on the quality of the service it provides to its clients.
Established in 2002 by industry experts, Ocean Certification has forged a reputation as the leading-edge Certification Body of choice for the ambitious organisation. Accredited by the United Kingdom Accreditation Service (UKAS), Ocean offers organisations independent third party assessments and registration services for Quality Management Systems (ISO 9001:2008), Environmental Management Systems (ISO 14001:2004), and Integrated Management Systems, as well as offering verification for Corporate Social Responsibility.
Ocean currently possesses numerous scopes of accreditation in a wide range of industrial and business sectors, and provides assessments and certification to a broad and distinguished client base throughout the world. We also offer independent third party assessment for Occupational Health & Safety Management Systems (OHSAS 18001:2007).
Organisations can expect much more from Ocean than a simple certificate. They can expect real performance improvement in key strategic areas. At Ocean we do not talk to our clients about potential benefits – we talk to them about direct, tangible benefits to their organisation. At Ocean we believe that certification is not simply a regulatory hoop through which to jump, but a powerful business tool through which an organisation can expect to secure a critical competitive edge.
Correspondently, Ocean’s client base is composed of ambitious organisations, striving to become, or consolidate their position as, market leaders in their respective sectors. These organisations recognize that to stand still in a dynamic global market is to be left behind, and we at Ocean regard it as our aim to equip them for success.
Management systems are evolving to meet the demands of the global marketplace. Ambitious organisations are increasingly coming to the realisation that the future of operational performance lies in responsive, flexible, effective management systems. These organisations are pioneering the implementation of a new breed of management system, no longer content with mere compliance, but geared towards navigating the challenges of a competitive global market. These new management systems, in conjunction with the emergent Corporate Social Responsibility report, form the core of today’s most successful organisations, instilling a philosophy and operational actuality of dynamism and efficiency.
At Ocean we believe that assessment must evolve to meet the demands of this new breed of management system. Assessment can no longer be concerned with mere compliance, but must function alongside the management system in inculcating a culture of continuous performance improvement. This is precisely why Ocean is the Certification Body of choice for today’s most ambitious organisations, and tomorrow’s market leaders.
