Australia Audit Success – July 2026

Successful ISO recertifications for K2 Australia

From 21st - 24th July, K2's Australian office underwent its audit for ISO 9001 and ISO 14001, with an independent third-party auditor assessing our Quality and Environmental Management systems, including a review of policies and processes and a series of employee interviews.

K2 Australia, with the support of the Compliance team, has passed the audit with no non-conformances and no opportunities for improvement identified, reflecting the strength, maturity, and consistent application of our quality and environmental systems within the region.

ISO 9001 is the world's leading quality management standard, covering how businesses manage quality and efficiency. ISO 14001 is the international standard for environmental management, covering how businesses manage their environmental impacts, such as waste and resource use. Maintaining both continues to demonstrate K2's commitment to quality, sustainability and delivering trusted services.

The auditor commented on the professionalism and openness shown throughout the interviews, noting the knowledge, passion, and positive attitude of everyone involved. He remarked that K2's teams globally share this same quality, people who genuinely enjoy their work and are keen to speak about it, which he described as rare.

A big thank you to Damon Hughes for preparing and coordinating all the local documentation ahead of the audit, which contributed to a seamless and efficient process.

Successful audits aren't won in the weeks leading up to them; they're earned throughout the entire year. This result is a testament to the Compliance team, whose work behind the scenes - every policy updated, every internal audit completed, every risk assessment reviewed - makes audits like this look easy.

On the result, K2's Global Head of Compliance and ESG, Linda Rafferty, comments:

"The auditor commented that he doesn't know how we do it, but that K2 has the most amazing teams globally. Every office reflects the same positive attitude, and people genuinely seem to love what they do and are keen to share it with him, something he described as very rare."
