A LRQA Case Study
Thales UK, a major player in the aerospace, defence, and transportation sectors, needed to adapt its long-standing environmental management system to meet the new requirements of the revised ISO 14001:2015 standard. The company engaged vendor LRQA to perform a gap analysis to understand the necessary changes and position itself as an early adopter of the updated certification.
LRQA conducted a flexible gap analysis that included a pre-assessment call, a day-long on-site review with top management, and a detailed report. This process provided Thales UK with a clear understanding of the new requirements and a plan to achieve conformance, giving the team the confidence to implement changes ahead of the formal transition assessment. The project served as a valuable starting point for their certification journey, assuring clients and partners of their robust environmental processes.
