Future Plans

Project work with the Quality Sustainability Award (QSA) 2021, the second year running. Through partnerships with China, India and Sweden we are promoting the link between quality and sustainability. Local awards will attract more projects and add to the importance of the award.
Continuous thought work on what quality (and IAQ and this TT) can do for Planet Earth Concerns, thinking about the scope of our application field and the kind of actions to take within this scope. To do this we will go through a strategy exercise taking into account overall IAQ strategy towards TT’s.
