Peak District-based supplier of high-quality plastic, glass, and aluminium packaging, CJK Packaging Limited, has successfully achieved both UKAS ISO 9001:2015 and ISO 14001:2015 Certifications with the support of South Shields based consultancy, Pentagon Assurance.
 
Pentagon Assurance has been working with the team at CJK Packaging for just a few months and they have rapidly demonstrated their ability to consistently provide products and services that meet customer, statutory and regulatory requirements.  As well as this, there is now a clear and effective environmental management system in place to measure and improve the businesses environmental impact. 
 
Barry Cooper, Managing Director at Pentagon Assurance said: “This is a fantastic achievement for the team at CJK Packaging, who are tremendously focused on the environment and sustainability, as well as quality and customer satisfaction.  Last month, the team underwent an evaluation process that included quality management system development, a management system documentation review, audits, and assessments before successfully achieving both standards.
 
“ISO 9001:2015 is perfect for any organisation, large or small, who are looking to improve quality and consistently meet customer requirements, while ISO 14001:2015 demonstrates a business’s commitment to reducing waste, improving resource efficiency, and reducing waste management costs.”
 
Joe Sizeland, Managing Director at CJK Packaging said: “Our decision to work towards these ISO accreditations demonstrates our promise to providing high-quality, trusted products to our clients, and our ongoing commitment to developing our ethical management systems.
 
“Protecting the environment is an important business issue in the industry we work in. Our customers require their suppliers to have specific environmental management plans. Implementing ISO 14001:2015 helps us to demonstrate to our customers and stakeholders that our business is committed to reducing its environmental impact. This achievement is a fantastic team effort and an important step in their continuing journey.”
