Building a responsible future together
At IRIS Nederland, sustainability isn’t just a word; it’s a fundamental part of how we operate and contribute to the world around us. From the way we protect sensitive data to reducing carbon emissions, our commitment to responsible and ethical practices is deeply rooted in our daily activities. Inspired by Canon’s corporate philosophy of Kyosei, which means “living and working together for the common good,” we continuously strive to create positive social and environmental impact.
Here’s how we are making sustainability a cornerstone of our business.
What Kyosei means to us
Kyosei is at the heart of everything we do. The philosophy, derived from the Japanese words kyo (共) en sei (生) meaning “co-living,” envisions a world where people and organizations work in harmony for the greater good. As part of the Canon family, IRIS Nederland has fully embraced this principle by embedding it into both our strategy and operations.
For us, Kyosei isn’t just an abstract idea; it’s a guiding principle that inspires action. Whether it’s protecting sensitive information, reducing carbon footprints, or building resilience in our operations, we work to ensure that our efforts contribute to a sustainable and prosperous society.
ISO 27001 Compliant
Protecting sensitive data is more than a priority; it’s a responsibility we take very serious. Our ISO 27001 certification demonstrates our unwavering commitment to upholding the highest standards of information security.
This internationally recognized standard provides a robust framework for managing the confidentiality, integrity, and availability of critical information. Achieving ISO 27001 compliance means our systems are secure, our processes are aligned with industry best practices, and we’re proactively mitigating risks to safeguard your data.
Why does this matter for you?
- Minimized risk of data breaches keeps your sensitive information secure.
- You can trust that we meet the latest legal and regulatory requirements.
- Our certification reflects a commitment to transparency, accountability, and robust risk management, building a solid foundation for partnerships.
Choosing an ISO 27001-certified partner like IRIS Nederland means you’re opting for a trusted, secure, and reliable partner who puts your data protection first, giving you peace of mind every step of the way.
Reducing Our Carbon Footprint
CO22 Performance Ladder Certification
Sustainability goes hand-in-hand with reducing our impact on the environment. That’s why we’re proud to be CO2 Performance Ladder certified at Level 3, a testament to our efforts to measure, manage, and lower our carbon emissions.
De CO2 Performance Ladder is a tool designed to guide organizations in reducing energy consumption and improving their environmental performance. It involves five levels, with Level 3 focused on cutting emissions within our organization and Levels 4 and 5 expanding these efforts to the supply chain and sector-wide initiatives.
What does this mean in practice?
- We actively track and analyze our energy use to identify opportunities for improvement.
- We implement measures to lower emissions, which helps reduce energy costs and optimize operations.
- We engage with sector initiatives to inspire broader action across industries.
Through this certification, we aim to lead by example, showcasing that sustainability and business efficiency can go hand-in-hand.
Alignment with DORA Requirements
We are fully committed to aligning with the Digital Operational Resilience Act (DORA) to meet its comprehensive standards for ICT service providers. While we’ve already made significant progress in adapting our processes and operations to DORA’s requirements, we are continuing to refine and enhance our approach to ensure full compliance.
Our efforts include conducting in-depth evaluations of our processes, strengthening our operational frameworks, and equipping our teams with the necessary knowledge and training. We are also working closely with our partners to address any outstanding gaps and implement improvements where needed.
Our goal is clear: to be fully aligned with DORA, ensuring we provide transparent, secure, and resilient ICT services. By staying proactive, we’re building a foundation of trust and reliability, so you can have confidence that your business is supported by a partner committed to operational excellence and data protection.
