ITALY CONSOLIDATES LEADERSHIP IN ENVIRONMENTAL AND QUALITY CERTIFICATION: THE KEY ROLE OF AUDITORS IN THE GREEN ECONOMY

In 2023, Italy reinforced its leading position in management system certifications, highlighting the growing importance of auditors in promoting sustainability and organisational efficiency.

 

ISO 9001 Certifications

Italy recorded a significant increase in the number of ISO 9001 certificates for quality management systems, from 94,216 in 2022 to 99,419 in 2023, representing an increase of 5,203 certificates. This places Italy in second place worldwide, just behind China, which reported 130,402 certificates.

 

ISO 14001 Certifications

As far as environmental management systems according to ISO 14001 are concerned, Italy grew from more than 20,000 certificates in 2022 to 23,493 in 2023, consolidating its position in second place globally, preceded only by China with 57,115 certificates. This increase underlines the commitment of Italian organisations to sustainable practices and greater environmental responsibility.

 

Role of Auditors in the Green Economy

In this context of growing certification, auditors and lead auditors qualified to ISO 14001 and ISO 9001 play a crucial role in ensuring compliance with international standards, contributing to the continuous improvement of organisations.

 

ISO 9001 accredited auditors support companies in optimising internal processes, ensuring high quality standards and increasing competitiveness in the global market. Their activity is not limited to compliance verification, but promotes a corporate culture oriented towards efficiency, innovation and customer satisfaction.

In parallel, auditors qualified for ISO 14001 have a decisive impact on the ecological transition, ensuring that environmental management systems are implemented correctly and comply with current regulations. Their role is increasingly in demand in a context where sustainability is an essential competitive factor.

Accreditation of auditors by recognised third-party bodies, such as Ricec International, further reinforces confidence in certification, ensuring professionalism and impartiality in audit processes. Accreditation helps to consolidate the credibility of certified companies, fostering international recognition of their quality and environmental certifications.
