Beddeleem wants to deliver building finishing and completion work for its customers by using the most suitable products and techniques, which also comply with current standards. This all has to be done within the set deadlines and budgets.
The ISO 9000 family addresses various aspects of quality management and contains some of ISO’s best known standards. The standards provide guidance and tools for companies and organizations who want to ensure that their products and services consistently meet customer’s requirements, and that quality is consistently improved.
ISO 9001:2015 sets out the criteria for a quality management system and is the only standard in the family that can be certified to (although this is not a requirement).
This standard is based on a number of quality management principles including a strong customer focus, the motivation and implication of top management, the process approach and continual improvement.
Using ISO 9001:2015 helps ensure that customers get consistent, good quality products and services, which in turn brings many business benefits.
The ISO 14000 family of standards provides practical tools for companies and organizations of all kinds looking to manage their environmental responsibilities.
ISO 14001:2015 and its supporting standards such as ISO 14006:2011 focus on environmental systems to achieve this. The other standards in the family focus on specific approaches such as audits, communications, labelling and life cycle analysis, as well as environmental challenges such as climate change.
In our environmental action plan and through our Cradle to Cradle certification part Water and Soil Stewardship, we continue to work on good management of our water resources.
Our annual water intake in 2023 was 1,255 m³. Most of this is for sanitary and domestic use (651 m³) and is treated in the public water treatment plant in Deinze.
A small part (16 m³) we process in our products when making gypsum. The remainder (588 m³) is water used in the coating process in our paint division for the pre-treatment baths, rinsing, cleaning out and part demi-water. We have our own water treatment installation which allows us to use this water in a long cycle. About once a year, the water is refreshed and the effluents and water from the pre-treatment baths are collected and processed by an authorised processor.
Within our environmental action plan, we continue to work towards continuous improvement of our processes.
