Selected certifications of the HERING Group

European Union seal of approval for sustainable environmental management. In 1996, HERING was the first construction company in Europe to be EMAS-certified. Since then, an authorised, independent auditor has carried out regular assessments. Every two years, an environmental statement is published that documents improvements in environmental performance as well as environmental objectives.

HERING had its sustainability performance evaluated in 2020 by the Ecovadis rating agency and received the "Gold" award. Ecovadis operates a collaborative platform that provides CSR ratings of suppliers for global supply chains.

CrefoZert is awarded for good business practices that have been consistently demonstrated to date and is also a good indicator for future business development. A certified company receives an entry in Creditreform’s credit rating that reflects its good payment record and positive prospects. A certified company must meet certain criteria on a sustained basis. This includes the Creditreform’s creditworthiness index, which must achieve values ranging between 100 and 249 for an initial positive assessment result.

AMS BAU is an industry-specific, voluntary occupational safety management system for member companies of the trade association Bau. The concept picks up on the operational concerns of the construction industry, and takes into account the difficult boundary conditions, such as constantly changing workstations, weather conditions, etc. HERING fulfils the requirements of systematic and effective occupational safety (valid until 20.07.2021).

Quality Management Standard ISO 9001 is the most widely-used and significant standard in the field of quality management on both a national and international level. Certification forms the basis for the continuous improvement process. The certificate is proof of implemented quality management of the HERING company group, in accordance with DIN EN ISO 9001, and is subject to regular monitoring by GüteZert GmbH (valid until 11.10.2021).

HERING Bau GmbH & Co. KG was awarded the ‘Herstellerbezogene Produktqualifikation’ (‘Manufacturer-related Product Qualification’) certification that allows it to manufacture modular platform systems made with prefabricated reinforced-concrete parts following the successful appraisal by the Deutsche Bahn. This certification is required before companies are allowed to manufacture prefabricated platforms in accordance with DB Station&Service AG’s current specifications.

Due to the demographic change, accessibility in public areas is becoming an increasingly important issue. All WC facilities installed by HERING bear DIN Certco certification, and are accessible in accordance with Standard DIN 18040. For many years, these provisions have been the basis for planning, as well as for constructional and structural implementation (valid until 31.01.2024).
