Schindler ISO Certified for Quality and Sustainability

MORRISTOWN, NJ -- Schindler Elevator Corporation, a provider of elevators, escalators and moving walks, recently became the first North American elevator company to achieve two companywide ISO certifications.

The certifications are to ISO 9001, a global standard for quality management, and ISO 14001, a global standard for environmental management systems.

Unlike previous certifications that have been secluded to a singular business operation, these are the first to be implemented across their entire value chain.

“Quality and sustainability are at the heart of what we do and permeate every aspect of our business,” said Chelsea Payne, Schindler’s Manager of Sustainability and Management Systems. “Being the first North American elevator company to achieve these ISO certifications companywide is an incredible milestone for us – but the work doesn’t stop there. We are continually evaluating our processes to ensure excellence in all aspects of our business to enable greater safety and sustainability.”

Schindler has historically been a sustainability leader in the elevator industry, earning North America’s first LEED Gold green building certification for their manufacturing facility in Hanover, PA in 2014. Most recently, Schindler established an internal cross-functional sustainability committee as part of their commitment to achieving net-zero by 2040.

In 2024, Schindler is pursuing ISO 45001 certification, which is the global standard for managing occupational health and safety risk.

Founded in Switzerland in 1874, the Schindler Group is a leading global provider of elevators, escalators and related services. Schindler’s mobility solutions move more than two billion people every day all over the world.
