The ISO Show #54 The commercial advantage of multiple ISO Standards with Andy Pavlovic, Maris Interiors
Andy Pavlovic is the Compliance director at Maris. Maris is certified to four ISO standards, ISO 9001 for quality, ISO 14001 for environmental management, ISO 45001 for health and safety, and ISO 37001 for anti-bribery standards.
