2024 RTIH Innovation Awards winner Polytag boosts data security credentials with ISO certifications

Packaging solutions provider, Polytag, has announced the achievement of two International Standards Organisation (ISO) certifications.

The company, which was among the winners at the 2024 RTIH Innovation Awards, has been awarded ISO 9001 and ISO 27001 certifications. ISO 9001 underscores the company’s commitment to operational efficiency, continuous improvement and customer satisfaction, while ISO 27001 ensures strong data protection measures and compliance with international security standards.

As a supplier of GS1 UK approved QR codes and invisible UV tags, Polytag tracks packaging lifecycles through data collection and sharing, showing when, where, and how much consumers interact with and recycle packaging.

Jon Anderson, Chief Technology Officer at Polytag, says: "As we continue to scale our solutions for businesses worldwide, ensuring the integrity, security, and quality of our operations is paramount. Achieving both ISO 9001 and ISO 27001 certifications underscores our unwavering commitment to excellence.”

“ISO 9001 reinforces our process-based approach, commitment to continuously improving our offering and dedication to our customers, while ISO 27001 ensures that we meet the highest security standards in managing sensitive information. Together, they provide our partners with confidence in our ability to deliver secure, reliable and high-quality solutions at scale.”

Green retail will be a key focus area at the 2025 RTIH Innovation Awards.

The awards. which will open for entries in March, celebrate global tech innovation in a fast moving omnichannel world.

Our 2024 hall of fame entrants were revealed during an event which took place at RIBA’s 66 Portland Place HQ in Central London on 21st November, and consisted of a drinks reception, three course meal, and awards ceremony presided over by comedian Lucy Porter.

In his welcome speech, Scott Thompson, Founder and Editor, RTIH, said: “The event is now into its sixth year and what a journey it has been. The awards started life as an online only affair during the Covid outbreak, before launching as a small scale in real life event and growing year on year to the point where we’re now selling out this fine, historic venue.”

He added: “Congratulations to all of our finalists. Many submissions did not make it through to the final stage, and getting to this point is no mean feat. Checkout-free stores, automated supply chains, immersive experiences, on-demand delivery, next generation loyalty offerings, inclusive retail, green technology. We’ve got all the cool stuff covered this evening.”

“But just importantly we’ve got lots of great examples of companies taking innovative tech and making it usable in everyday operations - resulting in more efficiency and profitability in all areas.”

Congratulations to our 2024 winners, and a big thank you to our sponsors, judging panel, the legend that is Lucy Porter, and all those who attended November's gathering.
