Above & beyond quality assurance…
At GridBeyond, formerly Endeco Technologies, we take quality seriously. This is why we continually review our processes and practices, using the very best frameworks and applying for the most comprehensive accreditations and certifications.
Our accreditations & certifications include:
ISO & OHSAS
The attainment of these certificates is a testament to GridBeyond, formerly Endeco Technologies’ ongoing commitment to consistently high quality service and product to our clients. It also demonstrates the promise and responsibility to do all we can to protect the environment, and our pledge to ensure the safety and wellbeing of all team members.
- The ISO 14001 accreditation affirms our commitment to the planet, and ensuring we leave a better planet for generations to come. Environmental management is prominent within the organisation’s strategic direction and there are a number of initiatives implemented to protect the environment from harm and degradation.
- ISO 9001 is more than just jumping through the right hoops for the audits, it is a certification based on continual improvement and implementing processes for long term success. Our high standards are maintained through a quality management system, which ensures that documentation, processes and management are all accountable to and compliant with the plan-do-check-act methodology and “right first time” attitude.
- OHSAS 18001 is for our team. We’ve always been confident in our health and safety practices, but with this certification, our team now have the confidence that their safety and wellbeing is of the utmost importance and takes priority.
EUROPEAN COMMISSION’S SEAL OF EXCELLENCE
Horizon 2020 is the biggest EU Research and Innovation programme ever, and promises more breakthroughs, discoveries and world-firsts by taking great ideas from the lab to the market. The evaluation is based on three criteria: excellence, impact and quality, efficiency of implementation. The European Commission has a first-class evaluation system engaging independent, international experts.
The European Commission recently awarded the Seal of Excellence for the development of our EnergyConnect platform, as part of the Horizon 2020 programme.
CYBER ESSENTIALS
By obtaining the Cyber Essential certificate, GridBeyond demonstrates the ability to protect your data and prevent cyber attacks. This IT Governance certification has been passed so our clients can be sure that the right security controls have been put in place and extensively tested by an external authority. The government have found that Cyber Essentials can prevent around 80% of cyber attacks.
CROWN COMMERCIAL SERVICES (CCS)
The Crown Commercial Services framework exists as a qualification process to ensure that suppliers to critical sites, such as hospitals, meet criteria. As a CCS accredited business, GridBeyond has passed a series of evaluations to ensure our business exceeds the quality and security thresholds to provide to the public sector.
CONTINUAL PROFESSIONAL DEVELOPMENT (CPD)
As a CPD provider, GridBeyond has the experience and expertise to create and deliver certified educational courses. We believe that education leads to better business decisions, which is why we have developed an academy of resources for those interested in demand side response and the energy market as a whole, and whose roles require a certain amount of hours of CPD training be obtained annually. Our resources ensure you have all the information you need to successfully partake in demand side response schemes, make significant savings and improve your green credentials.
