It is often said that a company’s best friend is

"A Competent Management Consultant!"

MEQA is in the business of assisting Organizations to make the most of their investment. The following issues are part of the consulting services MEQA offers you; the "Level One" and "Two" executive.

VENDOR SURVEILLANCE

Our clients find it very cost effective to hire MEQA to audit their Suppliers for them, thus freeing their own staff to continue on with production activities. Costs for your Organization are less than sending your own auditors, and once a relationship is established with MEQA, a quick phone call will send us on our way to solving your Supplier problems. As part of our cost saving service to you, proper reports and/or  CARs will be sent to your Organization and to your Suppliers, on your behalf as per ISO requirements. 

CORPORATE SOCIAL RESPONSIBILITY

Many of our clients find that in addition to, or separate from ISO 9001 and/or ISO 14001 they want to be a part of the international community that feels being responsible to employees and the environment and dealing with like minded companies is both profitable, and in the best interests of everyone involved.

Before too many more years have passed, CSR will be the norm for companies wishing to do business internationally. CSR has three levels of responsibility. First how does a company prove responsibility locally, nationally and internationally? An example might be that a company would state and prove that they are following or exceeding local provincial or state laws dealing with "Labour"; as well as following or exceeding national labour laws, and finally choosing suppliers or controlling their own international branches with regard to child labour, etc. The same type of accountability would be considered for EMS environmental management systems, and community, national and/or international community involvement. The profit accountability comes into play when companies will only deal with Suppliers that also can prove the above. 

Many reports are available to show how even small Mom and Pop Organizations are developing into partnering companies with a CSR program. Call or email MEQA to find out more about CSR (Corporate Social Responsibility) and how it can make your Organization more profitable.
