The outdoor advertising sector in Ireland, a vital part of the €5.8 billion European market, is facing unprecedented challenges as the European Union pushes for a 55% reduction in greenhouse gas emissions by 2030. In this rapidly evolving landscape, industry leaders are stepping up to set new benchmarks for sustainability and environmental responsibility. Quadra Consulting, a leading ISO consultancy firm with offices in Dublin and Belfast, is proud to celebrate its long-standing partnership with JCDecaux Ireland Ltd., the Irish arm of the world’s top outdoor advertising company.
This collaboration, spanning over a decade, demonstrates how industry giants are proactively addressing environmental challenges while showcasing Quadra’s commitment to delivering first-rate ISO consultancy and support services to businesses across Ireland. As cities across the EU implement stricter regulations on urban advertising, this partnership highlights the critical role of environmental management, workplace safety, and energy efficiency in a sector that reaches millions of consumers daily.
A Decade of ISO Excellence
For more than ten years, Quadra Consulting has played a crucial role in JCDecaux Ireland’s journey towards ISO certification and compliance. The partnership began with the implementation of ISO 14001 (Environmental Management) and ISO 45001 (Occupational Health and Safety) standards, demonstrating JCDecaux’s early commitment to environmental stewardship and workplace safety.
Expanding ISO Certifications
As JCDecaux Ireland continued to grow and evolve, so did its partnership with Quadra Consulting. Most recently, Quadra supported JCDecaux in achieving ISO 50001 certification, a testament to the company’s dedication to energy management and sustainability.
Gavin Kane, Director at Quadra Consulting, states: “Our long-standing relationship with JCDecaux Ireland exemplifies how targeted interventions and ongoing support can lead to significant, sustainable outcomes. We’re proud to have been part of JCDecaux’s ISO journey, from environmental and safety certifications to their recent achievement in energy management.”
Comprehensive ISO Support
Quadra Consulting’s services for JCDecaux Ireland extend beyond initial certification. The firm provides:
- Implementation support for ISO standards
- Ongoing maintenance and auditing assistance
- Specialised training, including energy management system training
This comprehensive approach ensures that JCDecaux Ireland not only achieves certification but continually improves its management systems.
JCDecaux Ireland’s Commitment to Excellence
JCDecaux Ireland’s pursuit of multiple ISO certifications demonstrates its commitment to operational excellence, a strong focus on health and safety, environmental responsibility, and energy efficiency. By partnering with Quadra Consulting, JCDecaux has positioned itself as a leader in sustainable outdoor advertising practices.
Tony O’Flanagan, Marketing Director at JCDecaux Ireland, comments: “Our partnership with Quadra Consulting has been instrumental in achieving and maintaining our ISO certifications. Their expertise has allowed us to streamline our operations, reduce our environmental impact, and continually improve our energy management practices.”
Driving Sustainable Advertising
JCDecaux Ireland’s commitment to ISO standards has significantly impacted its business operations. The implementation of ISO 14001 has improved waste management and reduced environmental impact across its advertising sites. ISO 45001 supports workplace safety, focusing on fewer incidents and improved employee satisfaction. The recent addition of ISO 50001 has driven energy efficiency improvements, leading to reduced carbon emissions and lower operational costs.
Looking Ahead
As JCDecaux Ireland continues to grow and adapt to changing market demands, Quadra Consulting remains a trusted partner in their ISO journey. The ongoing collaboration between these two industry leaders serves as a model for long-term partnerships focused on continuous improvement and sustainable business practices.
