Intertek is an industry leading partner for the Logistics and Transportation sector, specialising in bespoke auditing and supply chain solutions.
The Logistics and Transportation sector is an extremely fast-paced environment in which hundreds of millions of items are moving through the system each year. To keep pace with industry developments and with customer requirements, it is essential for companies to ensure their management systems adhere to a best practice approach. In addition, with an increasing requirement to move goods throughout the world as rapidly as possible, there is a growing level of supply chain risk that must be managed and mitigated.
Auditing your Management Systems
At Intertek, our teams of expert auditors deliver a diverse portfolio of solutions tailored for the challenges of the Logistics and Transportation sector. By gaining certification to ISO 9001 (Quality Management), ISO 14001 (Environmental Management) and ISO 45001 (Occupational Health & Safety Management), companies are able to establish an overarching framework for embedding a best practice approach in these key areas of their business.
In the Logistics industry, where customers are often major retailers, it is vital to ensure that customer data is secure. ISO/IEC 27001 (Information Security Management) is the only auditable international standard that defines the requirements of an information security management system, and effectively positions organisations to mitigate the risks associated with information security and cybersecurity.
Managing supply chain risk
As the largest social compliance audit company globally, with 850 compliance auditors in 65 countries, Intertek are the experts in helping Logistics organisations mitigate the risks that can arise in their supply chains. We have been conducting Sedex Members Ethical Trade Audits (SMETA) since the process was introduced in 2004. These audits have become increasingly important as brands and retailers seek to partner with suppliers that participate in Sedex to ensure ethical trading and corporate social responsibility.
Governments all over the world have taken legislative measures to ensure organisations are acting to prevent forced labour in their operations and supply chains. Modern Slavery legislation requires organisations to publish an annual slavery and human trafficking statement outlining the steps and processes they have taken to mitigate this issue. Intertek’s comprehensive range of solutions help the most complex Logistics organisations not only meet the requirements of such national and global Modern Slavery Acts, but to ensure a safe environment for all those working in their supply chain.
