We’re excited to share that Flagship has officially earned ISO 9001 certification, specifically for our ESG consulting and reporting services, following a successful audit by TÜV NORD.
While ISO 9001 is often associated with large corporations and industrial organizations, Flagship now proudly stands as a boutique sustainability consultancy that not only meets this global quality standard - but does so while staying agile, personal, and purpose-driven.
Why We Pursued ISO 9001 as a Sustainability Consultancy
ISO 9001 is the world’s most widely recognized quality management standard. It ensures consistent, high-quality delivery, a focus on customer satisfaction, and a commitment to continuous improvement.
For us, the goal wasn’t simply to comply with a standard. It was to formalize the structured, impact-driven way we already work - and give our clients even more confidence in the results we deliver.
At a time when ESG and sustainability reporting expectations are intensifying under CSRD, ESRS, and global frameworks, working with an ISO-certified partner brings an added layer of trust and credibility.
How ISO 9001 Strengthens Sustainability Strategy and Reporting
ISO 9001 is not just a badge - it’s a system that enhances how we deliver value to our clients. Here’s how it strengthens our ESG consulting approach:
✅ Structured ESG Delivery
We use standardized workflows and SOPs to ensure quality and consistency, whether we’re supporting one entity or a complex group.
✅ Integration of Business and Sustainability Goals
Through tools like our Impact Scorecard, we ensure that quality and sustainability objectives are aligned and measurable.
✅ Risk Reduction and Efficiency
ISO principles help us identify inefficiencies and sustainability opportunities - from better data management to smarter resource use.
✅ Transparent Stakeholder Engagement
We help clients communicate clearly with stakeholders, guided by structured processes and communication frameworks.
✅ Continuous Improvement
Client and employee feedback loops, regular reviews, and audit-readiness are built into everything we do - so our work evolves as your needs do.
What the TÜV NORD Audit Found
Our audit by TÜV NORD identified several key strengths that reflect our high standards and forward-thinking approach:
- Deep integration of quality systems into company leadership
- Strategic Impact Scorecard linking sustainability and service excellence
- Defined KPIs and action plans tied directly to quality goals
- A culture of accountability, engagement, and purpose-driven work
Why This Sets Flagship Apart
We’re not a corporate giant and we don’t try to be. What makes Flagship different is that we combine the agility and personal attention of a boutique sustainability firm with the structure and discipline of a globally certified consultancy.
This means:
- You work with a dedicated, expert team, and not a revolving cast of consultants
- You gain the benefits of proven, ISO-certified systems
- You reduce compliance and reputational risk
- You achieve real, trackable sustainability outcomes - not just reports
We’re proud to be one of the only ESG consultancies in our region with ISO 9001 certification - and even prouder to use it in service of better, smarter, more impactful sustainability consulting.
