Certificates and awards​

The certificates and awards we have received over the years are based on the implementation of defined standard requirements and the successful external auditing of our management systems. These include, among others, certifications to ISO 9001, ISO 14001, ISO 50001, and ISO 45001. They document our activities and performance in the areas of quality, the environment, energy, and occupational safety. As a company with a strong pioneering spirit, we continuously work on further developing our products and processes and welcome the associated assessments by independent institutions.

The edding 24 highlighter

Also in pastel colours!

Here at edding, we are constantly working to develop products made from renewable and recycled materials. One result of this is the edding 24 highlighter range, whose caps and barrels are made from at least 90 per cent renewable materials.

In 2018, our efforts were rewarded with the Blue Angel eco-label—making us the very first highlighter to receive it. A first for all highlighters!

In addition to the five classic neon colours, the edding 24 highlighter is also available in five trendy pastel colours.

 

ISO certificates frame our activities​

By introducing our management systems, we have given our activities a framework within which we move, develop ideas and set goals.

The processes of our quality management system (ISO 9001) are not only lived, but are actively developed further by our employees, but also our customers and partners. The cornerstones of our environmental management (ISO 14001) include resource conservation by working with alternative materials (renewable raw materials, recycled materials), waste management and the collection of environmental indicators and greenhouse gas emissions.

The energy management system (ISO 50001) supports the responsible use of energy as a key foundation of our economic existence. Our health and occupational safety management (ISO 45001) puts the safety and needs of our employees first.
