Everything you need to record how top management promotes and demonstrates quality culture and ethical behavior, a new requirement in ISO 9001:2026 (clause 5.1.1 i)).
What you get
- Quality culture and ethics statement (Word) you can add to your quality policy or publish alongside it.
- Code of ethical conduct for quality with six principles and six scenarios covering honest records, test and inspection integrity, customer commitments, reporting of concerns and non-retaliation.
- Leadership evidence log (Excel) where top management records the actions that demonstrate commitment: gemba walks, town halls, decisions that put quality ahead of schedule, recognition and follow-up.
- Quality culture self-assessment (Excel): a 24-question staff survey with automatic scoring across six dimensions and a radar chart.
- Speak-up procedure for raising quality and ethics concerns.
- 12-slide awareness briefing (PowerPoint) with speaker notes.
ISO 9001:2026 changes covered
Leadership and commitment (5.1.1), environment for the operation of processes (7.1.4) and awareness (7.3).
Who it is for
Quality managers who need to turn a broad requirement into records they can show, without hiring a culture consultant.
3 questions your auditor will ask about quality culture
- What have you personally done in the last quarter to promote quality culture and ethical behavior? Have ready: the leadership evidence log with dated entries.
- If a test result came back just outside the limit on the day of a shipment, what would you do, and has it happened? Have ready: a record of a decision where quality came before schedule, and staff who give the same answer.
- How can an employee raise a concern, and what happened to the last one? Have ready: the speak-up procedure and its log.
These are examples. Questions vary by auditor and organisation. The statement, leadership log and speak-up procedure in this pack give you the records to answer them.
The pack describes requirements in our own words. The standard does not prescribe a method for quality culture, so these documents are one practical way to meet it. Use them with your licensed copy of ISO 9001:2026.
Template version 1.1 (October 2026), checked line by line against ISO 9001:2026 as published on 16 September 2026.
Watch: how this works in practice
Watch: Quality culture and ethical behavior: what good evidence looks like in a real company.
Watch: The 2026 edition of ISO 9001 asks top management to promote a quality culture and ethical behavior. Quality leadership: how to measure quality culture without a slogan or a survey.

Questions about Quality Culture & Ethical Behavior Pack (ISO 9001:2026 Clauses 5.1.1 & 7.3)
What does ISO 9001:2026 require for quality culture?
Top management must promote quality culture and ethical behavior (5.1.1 i)), and awareness for people doing work under the organization's control includes quality culture and ethical behavior (7.3 e)). Clause 7.1.4 also notes that factors affecting the work environment can be influenced by them. The standard does not prescribe a method.
How can quality culture be evidenced?
Through records and conversations: what leaders do and say, how concerns are raised and handled, whether records are honest, and whether staff can explain what quality and ethical behavior mean in their job. The leadership log and survey in this pack create those records.
Do we need a separate ethics policy?
Not necessarily. Many companies add two or three sentences to the quality policy and reference an existing code of conduct. The pack includes wording for both approaches.
How will I receive the files?
A download button appears on the order confirmation page and the same link is emailed to you within a few minutes. Bundles arrive as one ZIP file.
Can I get a refund?
Yes. With our 30-day money-back guarantee, if the files do not fit your quality management system you can ask for a full refund within 30 days of your order. It applies once per customer and organization, covers the whole product, and requires you to confirm you have deleted the files. We also refund non-delivery, defective files, wrong items and duplicate purchases within 30 days. Read the full refund policy.
Can I see the files before I buy?
Yes. The images above show real pages from the files, and most kits have free sample pages you can download with your email address. You can also see a fully worked example of a procedure and its linked records.
Will I get updates?
Yes, for the edition of the standard this product covers. Corrections, amendments and guidance changes for that edition are sent to you free, by email, for as long as we sell the product. If the standard is replaced by a new edition, the new kit is a separate product and existing buyers get an upgrade discount. See the version history.
Can I use the templates with more than one company?
Each purchase is licensed to one organization (one legal entity). Consultants can use one product with up to 10 client organizations with the Consultant Multi-Client Licence, including applying their own or the client's branding. See consultant rights and the licence agreement.
