Standardisation Organisation and GBCY announce new strategic collaboration

The Cyprus Organisation for Standardisation and the Great Britain-Cyprus Business Association (GBCY) have announced a new strategic collaboration.

According to a press release, GBCY, a business association that helps create business relationships and enhance business opportunities between companies established in Great Britain and Cyprus, and CYS (Cyprus Organisation for Standardisation), the national standardisation body in Cyprus, have announced a new strategic collaboration.

It says that Director of Standardisation of CYS, Pambos Kammas, and the Founder and President of GBCY, Savvas Kyriakides met on 5 January to identify the specific areas of this new engagement.

"This strategic collaboration represents a significant step forward, as it aims to support GBCY’s members by using the services and solutions offered by CYS. The alliance has the potential to help corporations in all sectors accelerate progress to a safer and more sustainable future as well as enhance competitiveness and performance," the press release continues.

Going into more detail, it adds, that the collaboration is designed to bring GBCY’s members multiple benefits, such as elevating networking opportunities among key players in the standardisation arena, and providing access to sector-specific trends and current information on market-led standards to improve the quality, safety, and integrity of their products, services, and processes.

Furthermore, the announcement notes that through this collaboration stakeholders will capitalise on the opportunity of participating in local and international business events, webinars, and training. Sharing knowledge through the use of best practice standards assists in improving performance, growing sustainably, managing risk, and ultimately becoming more resilient in this ever-evolving business landscape.

"This new collaboration is aligned with GBCY’s commitment to promote networking opportunities for corporations based in Great Britain and in Cyprus. Consequently, the announcement is in line with CYS’s vision “to constantly upgrade the quality level in all sectors of the economy and society through the promotion and implementation of standards,” it points out.

Finally, the press release says that GBCY and CYS are natural partners with a shared objective and are prompt to create a robust and scalable strategic collaboration, ultimately strengthening synergies among stakeholders.
