The media industry is facing increased competition, and sees quality and ethical behaviour as a competitive advantage towards stakeholder groups. With a Media certificate your media company will demonstrate predictability of your internal operations and ability to meet society’s expectations.
Purpose
In 2005, an agreement was established between the Media & Society Foundation (MSF) based in Geneva, and DNV Certification. This agreement authorises DNV to provide certification of media companies according to industry-specific quality management standards for broadcasting companies, and print journalism.
Only companies with an agreement with MSF are authorised to use these standards for certification, and DNV is the first (and presently only) certification body that certifies to these standards.
Benefits
Quality management is what organisations practice to ensure that their procedures conform to stakeholders’ requirements. Moving away from ad hoc processes gives you an overview that makes your internal processes easier to manage, measure, and improve. It is the first step on a journey towards continual business improvement.
An implemented and documented quality management system enables you to control your different internal processes as defined by your scope:
• You will increase your efficiency and minimise the risk that obligations to stakeholders are not met.
• You have a foundation from which to gradually improve your internal processes and strengthen your organisation’s ability to meet strategic objectives.
• You can measure your management system against various international and industry standards through third party certification.
