Many companies today are operating in fast-paced environments. This means collaborating effectively is more important than ever. ISO 44001 gives a structured approach to collaborative working. It helps companies like ours share resources, experience, and skills in a way that maximises value and minimises risk. 

ISO 44001 is a roadmap for establishing and managing collaborative relationships with:

  • suppliers 
  • customers
  • partners
  • internal departments or functions (internal).

And it creates benefits for all parties.

In rail, collaborative working is vital. Our industry involves complex relationships. It also has high levels of risk and investment. So, having productive partnerships across the sector is key. In particular, ISO 44001 can help companies:

  • Plan and deliver complex projects successfully.
  • Build meaningful long-term relationships.
  • Manage risks more effectively. 

Gaining this certification shows our commitment to truly collaborative relationships.
