Brandfuel’s Workforce and Clients Reap Benefits of the Creative Agency’s ISO Certifications

Posted: 22nd September 2022

The inspiring story  of how ISO certification has driven a more cohesive workforce at this multi-award-winning international creative agency. Brandfuel is an international creative agency specialising in the design, planning and delivery of online broadcasts, conferences, exhibitions, events, brand identity and digital services. It is committed to making sustainability, diversity and inclusion part of everything it does.

To help to adhere to this commitment across the business and all of its activities, Brandfuel aims to

maintain the highest standards in occupational health & safety and wellbeing to support the needs of its team members, clients and other stakeholders. It was felt that ISO certification would provide an excellent framework to meet these needs.

Chief Operating Officer Sue Sawyer, who leads on all ISO standards, said: “When we started the ISO process, staff were wary and a bit nervous but, as time progressed, more people embraced what we were seeking to achieve and have actively sought to become involved.”

The journey and certification to ISO 45001 and 45003 have proved a substantial and welcome

positive addition to the company’s culture. Clear communication of the accreditation has also made existing and new freelance staff and other suppliers aware that Brandfuel has high expectations of behaviour, a reputation that it values, and it will go the extra mile to ensure the wellbeing of people it works with.
