Luminescence Sun Chemical Security receives ISO37001:2016 certification
In recognition of the company’s strict policies towards anti-bribery and corruption, Luminescence Sun Chemical Security has received the ISO37001:2016 certification from the British Standards Institution (BSI). View Certificate
ISO37001 is a relatively new international standard which specifies a series of measures that can be implemented to help prevent, detect and address bribery, enabling an organisation to successfully implement an anti-bribery management system. Jamie Leach, Luminescence Sun Chemical Security’s ISO Systems Manager, comments: “This is a great recognition of the strict processes and procedures that had already been implemented in our organisation since a long time. This was proven as well by the speediness of the whole certification process.
“Even though we already worked to the highest standards it is still important to be able to show that our processes and procedures are verified by an organisation as BSI”, says Gerben van Wijk, Sales and Marketing Director. “The ISO certification process by BSI is very strict and enabled us to have a thorough internal check to re-confirm we are on the right track. We highly recommend other organisations in the security printing industry to do the same.
