Our updated group-wide
Code of Conduct has
been rolled out across all
businesses in Kingspan
based on the three
principles of honesty,
integrity and compliance.
This updated Code of
Conduct sets out clear
expectations for all
employees with respect to
clear, ethical and honest
business communications,
together with in
compliance with the law.
Over 90% of Kingspan’s
employees have completed
training on our updated
Code of Conduct.
Led by our Group Head of
Compliance & Certification,
a new product compliance
programme has been rolled
out across the Group to
the ISO 37301 Compliance
Management standard,
which will be audited by
our Group Internal Audit
function with reporting
to the Board’s Audit &
Compliance Committee.
Accreditation for the
ISO 37301 Compliance
Management Systems
has been achieved by the
Product Compliance and
Certification function and
by nine manufacturing
locations across four of the
Group’s five divisions. An
additional twenty five sites
are expected to obtain ISO
37301 accreditation in 2022.
Our group-wide Digital
Transformation programme
has a core focus on the
implementation of a groupwide Product Information
Management (PIM) system
to ensure accuracy of
all product information,
including that which is
related to testing and
compliance. The PIM will
provide accurate and up-to
date product information
to a suite of customer
tools, including Kingspan’s
proprietary BIMDesigner
platform which will
support the golden thread
of Kingspan product
information through
building models and into
building passports. The
Kingspan PIM project has
been underway
since 2019.
An extensive Marketing
Integrity programme was
launched in 2021, aligned
with the incoming UK Code
for Construction Product
Information, to ensure
accurate and truthful
representation of product
information in marketing
materials. This is being
supported by a training
programme with a key
focus on representation of
testing and accreditations
and using a Skills,
Knowledge, Expertise
and Behaviour (SKEB)
approach to competency.
Group Internal Audit will
be auditing the use of
the SKEB competency
framework within the
marketing function. This
programme of work is
being rolled out to all
businesses, with the aim
of assuring the highest
standards of product safety
and compliance. We are
also piloting a Learning
Management System
to further advance skills
within the business.
“Product integrity is a fundamental aspect of our overall
value proposition to our customers, this programme
will drive market-leading infrastructure, technology
and knowledge to support this important agenda.”
