We are proud to announce two major milestones for VAIDAVA CERAMICS — the successful achievement of both ISO 9001 and ISO 14001 certifications. This dual accomplishment reflects our resolute commitment to quality, sustainability, and continuous improvement across all areas of our operations.
The certification process, carried out in partnership with Bureau Veritas, required rigorous evaluation of our internal systems, policies, and practices. Their audits confirmed that our operations align with globally recognised standards — and in many areas, exceed them. We thank them for their professionalism and guidance.
ISO 9001 is the international benchmark for quality management. It ensures that every stage — from raw material sourcing to final delivery — is carried out with consistency, traceability, and a focus on customer satisfaction. It reinforces our dedication to excellence in craftsmanship and service.
ISO 14001, the global standard for environmental management, reflects our responsibility to the planet. It confirms that we actively reduce our environmental footprint, improve resource efficiency, and integrate sustainability into daily operations. This includes everything from energy use and material selection to waste handling and long-term environmental planning.

Achieving these certifications was challenging. It demanded focus, discipline, and a company-wide effort. We redesigned processes, strengthened documentation, and built a culture of transparency and accountability. Still, we view certification not as the finish line, but as the foundation for future progress.
As Board Member Guntis Ādamsons notes:
“Achieving these standards confirms we have passed muster for international best practices. However, the real strength lies in unwaveringly pursuing our goals with purpose and building on what we’ve accomplished - a powerful and positive discipline that drives us forward, creating value for all stakeholders.”
This perspective perfectly captures our outlook. Standards give us structure — but it is our mindset and daily actions that bring them to life through time.
We are grateful to our team for their dedication, and to our clients and partners for their continued trust. Together, we move forward — with pride, responsibility, and the belief that design and discipline can shape a better, more sustainable future.
