ISO certification clients by sector, and the regions we serve
Forty anonymised case studies on file, grouped by sector, with the standards each covers. The counts describe those case studies only, not client totals.
How to read this page
Counts from the case studies on file, not client totals
Every sector count on this page comes from the 40 anonymised case studies on file. Each case keeps the sector, the standard and the problem; name, location and dates are left out. ISO 9001 appears in 22 of them, and ISO 14001, ISO 45001 and ISO/IEC 27001 in seven each.
The case studies carry no location; Sterling serves clients across 60+ countries from offices in 21 countries. Signed client letters on file, reported in our words on the standard hub pages, include accounts from CHEC Construction (Phils.) Corp., Logwin Air + Ocean Philippines, Inc. and I-Scream Ltd, China.

FAQs
Questions about clients by sector
What the counts mean, why names are left out, and where Sterling works.
Are these the number of clients Sterling has in each sector?
No. Each count describes only the anonymised case studies on file. It is not a total of clients in that sector. Across the group, Sterling has 8,100+ client engagements in 60+ countries.
Why are client names left out of the case studies?
Anonymising lets the sector, standard and problem be shared without disclosing the client. Client accounts on the hub pages come from signed letters on file, reported in our words; the originals are available on request.
Does Sterling work with organisations in my region?
Sterling has offices in 21 countries, from New York and London to Dubai, Johannesburg, Navi Mumbai, Manila, Singapore and Sydney. Sterling’s role is consulting: the certification audit and decision sit with an independent certification body.
