PWT Obtains ISO 9001:2015 Certification for Specialty Chemicals Manufacturing Facility in California

(TSX: HEO) – H₂O Innovation Inc. (“H₂O Innovation” or the “Corporation”) is proud to announce that it has recently obtained the ISO 9001:2015 certification for its PWT facility located in Vista, California, ensuring quality management in all processes around its specialty chemicals manufacturing.

The ISO 9001:2015 standard establishes requirements for reliable quality management systems to ensure that companies, regardless of their type or size, follow the same guidelines and practices. This international standard enables a company to provide products and services that consistently meet customer and regulatory demands. It also provides guidance to enhance customer satisfaction through the effective implementation of the quality management system and continuous improvement processes.

To obtain this certification, the team in Vista underwent a series of rigorous evaluations and audits to validate the coherence of the documentation and the consistency of the manufacturing processes, among other stringent criteria. These requirements are generic and prevent employees from making changes without approval throughout the processes.

Furthermore, part of the International Organization for Standardization’s (ISO) mission is not only to support its members to maximize the benefits of international standardization, but also to help meet the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). More specifically, ISO 9001:2015 contributes to the SDGs #1 (No Poverty), #9 (Industry, Innovation and Infrastructure), #12 (Responsible Consumption and Production), and #14 (Life Below Water). “Supporting the SDGs aligns perfectly with our mission and vision when it comes to sustainability. Obtaining this certification, knowing that ISO is actively contributing to these objectives, reinforces our commitment to driving positive change around the world,” said Frédéric Dugré, President, Chief Executive Officer and co-Founder of H₂O Innovation.
