Technics’ Achilles UVDB Success
Technics recently hosted an auditor from Achilles UVD
B for an intensive audit on all internal systems including health, safety, quality, environment and corporate social responsibility.
Our amazing team came together to host the auditor and to show how we undertake our utility detection surveys. Our team’s cooperation and transparency paid off and we achieved an average score of 100% across all sections.
How can utility clients reduce risk and appoint a survey company that cares about health, safety, quality and environmental concerns?
We know we have exceptional health, safety, welfare, quality and environmental standards but how to prove this to clients?
The best way is through independent, external audit with transparent results. But in such a wide industry, how to pick the most appropriate accreditation platform without “badge collecting” or duplication, wasting time and resources?
That is why Technics have been part of the Achilles UVDB community since 2017.
Achilles UVDB (Utilities Vendor Database) is a centralised database that over 1,500 buyers from 80 companies access to select suppliers for potential tender opportunities.
Clients have access to our audit results and can see for themselves the high standards and hard work we put into continually reduce risk. Our results from our recent UVDB audit prove this with an average score of 100% across Health and Safety, Quality, Environmental and Corporate Social Responsibility.
Technics inclusion on UVDB demonstrates our capability, honesty and transparency; traits that are key while working closely with clients on data collection and survey solutions.
Alison Smith, Technics’ Compliance Manager said “This is a excellent result for Technics. I’m proud of the whole team for achieving such good results. This clearly demonstrates our continuous improvement and investment in health, safety and wellbeing of our team and reducing risk for us and our clients”.
Achilles is a global chain risk management company that independently assesses supply chains of large clients to identify and mitigate risk.
They use online questionnaires and on-site audits to collect, check and maintain essential data from suppliers, enabling clients to make informed strategic decisions in minimise cost and risk.
