CUBE Earns ISO 14001 Certification: Strengthening Our Environmental Governance and Product Philosophy

CUBE is now ISO 14001 certified for our internal Environmental Management System (EMS) - a recognition of how we operate as an organization. This milestone reflects our commitment to responsible operations, environmental awareness, and continuous improvement as we build and support a platform used across high-impact construction and infrastructure environments.

Just as construction teams manage materials, waste, emissions, and documentation under increasing scrutiny, we hold ourselves to a structured, measurable environmental framework inside CUBE.

Note: ISO 14001 certification applies only to CUBE’s internal EMS.

Customers remain responsible for their own environmental compliance.

CUBE provides digital tools that support documentation, tracking, and environmental workflows.

Why ISO 14001 Matters - and What It Says About CUBE

ISO 14001 is the global standard for environmental management. It requires organizations to identify environmental impacts, establish controls, track performance, and continually improve through the Plan-Do-Check-Act cycle.

Our certification confirms that we maintain:

• Defined environmental objectives and documented controls
• Policies to reduce waste, energy consumption, and operational risks
• Monitoring and measurement systems for environmental performance
• Corrective actions and continuous improvement cycles
• Structured, auditable documentation practices

For customers, this demonstrates that CUBE is operated by a company that understands environmental governance-not only in principle, but in practice. It reflects the same discipline expected in modern AECO and infrastructure projects.

How Our EMS Influences the Way We Build CUBE

The process of achieving ISO 14001 strengthened the same principles that guide CUBE’s platform design. Although the certification applies internally, the mindset behind it shapes the digital workflows we deliver.

1. Designed for Environmental Accountability

We emphasize clarity across all construction information: controlled documents, traceable submissions, and structured review cycles-elements that support responsible decision-making in areas like material approvals, waste tracking, and compliance documentation.

2. Traceability Across the Project Lifecycle

ISO 14001 demands clear, auditable records.

CUBE mirrors this through version management, timestamps, and end-to-end change history-making it easier for teams to gather evidence for sustainability reporting or regulatory reviews.

3. Governance Through Defined Roles and Checks

Our internal EMS relies on role-based responsibilities and documented sign-offs.

CUBE applies the same principle, enabling review flows that reinforce ownership and reduce environmental oversights.

These principles ensure the platform supports-rather than automates-your environmental responsibilities.

How CUBE Supports Environmental Documentation and Oversight

CUBE is not an environmental certification system and does not make your project ISO 14001 compliant.

What it does provide is a centralized, governed digital environment that strengthens environmental workflows.

Unified Field-to-Office Environmental Data

• Digital forms for inspections, observations, waste logs, and environmental checklists
• Geo-tagged media capturing on-site environmental conditions
• Structured follow-up actions and audit-ready histories

Controlled Environmental Documentation

• Centralized access to permits, method statements, and sustainability plans
• Version control ensuring teams use the most current information
• Searchable environmental evidence for client submissions or regulatory audits

Governed Environmental Decision-Making

• Review cycles for material selection, waste management plans, and compliance documents
• Clear roles and responsibilities for approvals
• Automated notifications for overdue tasks

Real-Time Environmental Insights

• Dashboards tracking waste metrics, check completion, and sustainability KPIs
• Project-to-portfolio visibility for leadership teams
• Exportable analytics for reporting and internal reviews

These capabilities help teams manage environmental impact with structure, visibility, and accountability.

What Our ISO 14001 Certification Means - and Does Not Mean

It Means

• CUBE operates an ISO 14001-certified internal EMS
• We follow disciplined environmental controls and improvement cycles
• Our operational culture reflects sustainability expectations across AECO

It Does NOT Mean

• Using CUBE makes your organization ISO 14001-compliant
• Certification extends to customer sites or environmental programs
• CUBE functions as an EMS certifying tool

What CUBE Provides

• A unified platform to organize your environmental workflows
• Tools that support auditability, documentation, and oversight
• A structured environment conducive to responsible construction delivery

Part of a Larger Trust and Compliance Framework

ISO 14001 stands alongside CUBE’s broader compliance posture, which includes:

• ISO 19650 - Information Management
• ISO 9001 - Quality Management
• ISO 27001 - Information Security
• ISO 45001 - Occupational Health & Safety
• SOC 2 Type II - Operational governance and controls

Each standard addresses different pillars of trust. Together, they reflect CUBE’s commitment to delivering a platform - and an organization - built on accountability and independent verification.

Building a Sustainable Future Through Structure and Intentionality

Our mission remains consistent:

Operate responsibly as a company, and build CUBE so that project teams can manage their own environmental responsibilities with clarity, confidence, and control.

The principles behind our ISO 14001 certification live through the workflows customers use every day - ensuring environmental documentation is organized, processes remain consistent, and the path to responsible project delivery is always clear.
