CCSL Achieves ISO 14001 & ISO 45001 Certification Ireland: A Commitment to People and Planet

Why ISO Certification Ireland Matters in Workplace Catering

At CCSL, we believe workplace catering is about much more than food. It is about creating safe, sustainable environments that support people and protect the planet.

That is why we are proud to announce our recent certification to ISO 14001 environmental management standard and ISO 45001 occupational health and safety standard.

For HR, Facilities, Procurement and Finance Managers across Pharma, Tech, Manufacturing and Financial Services, these certifications are more than badges. They demonstrate that CCSL has been independently verified against the world’s leading standards in sustainability and workplace safety.

ISO 14001: Our Commitment to Environmental Responsibility

ISO 14001 is the internationally recognised standard for environmental management systems. Achieving this certification shows that CCSL is actively reducing our impact on the environment through:

• Local and seasonal sourcing to cut food miles and support Irish suppliers.

• Waste management systems to monitor and reduce food waste across staff restaurants.

• Energy and resource efficiency in kitchens and operations.

For clients, this means our catering solutions align with corporate sustainability strategies and ESG reporting obligations, such as the EU Corporate Sustainability Reporting Directive.

It also supports Irish national priorities around sustainability as outlined by the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).

ISO 45001: Prioritising Workplace Health & Safety

ISO 45001 is the global benchmark for occupational health and safety management. This certification reflects our commitment to protecting both our teams and the people we serve every day.

• Safe kitchens and dining environments that meet the highest health and safety standards.

• Ongoing staff training in line with best practice and the Health & Safety Authority (HSA) guidance for Ireland.

• Supportive working conditions that promote wellbeing and reduce risk.

For our clients, it provides reassurance that safety is embedded into every layer of our operations, from food preparation to service delivery.

A Team Effort for ISO Certification Ireland

Certification is never achieved by one person. It is the result of a collective commitment. Our quality, compliance and operations teams worked tirelessly with Amtivo (formerly Certification Europe & EQA) to achieve these standards. Their dedication ensures that CCSL remains a trusted catering partner for organisations across Ireland.

Why It Matters for Our Clients

For HR, Facilities, Procurement and Finance Managers, choosing a contract catering partner with ISO 14001 and 45001 means:

• Confidence that your catering provider aligns with sustainability goals and environmental compliance.

• Assurance that health and safety risks are proactively managed.

• Evidence that your partner can support ESG reporting and wellbeing strategies.

These certifications show CCSL is not only compliant but proactive in driving standards that support both people and planet.

Looking Ahead

At CCSL, we view ISO certification Ireland not as a milestone to be ticked off, but as an ongoing journey. Standards evolve, and so do we. Whether it is embedding sustainable practices, enhancing staff wellbeing, or working hand in hand with clients on workplace catering innovations, ISO 14001 and 45001 are now part of the fabric of how we operate.

Certification isn’t just a badge. It is a reflection of how we work, partner and deliver catering that supports people and the planet.
