TSA Achieves ISO 27001:2022 Certification
30 July 2024
Tyre Stewardship Australia (TSA) today announced it has received International Organization for Standardization (ISO) 27001:2022 certification for information security management — one of the most widely recognised and internationally accepted standards for the security of information assets.
The ISO certification specifies the requirements for implementing and improving an Information Security Management System (ISMS). It ensures organisations effectively protect the confidentiality, integrity, and availability of the information it holds, while proactively mitigating the risk of data breaches.
TSA Chief Executive Officer Lina Goodman said the certification reinforces the organisation’s commitment to robust security processes and demonstrates its credentials against a global standard.
“We are trusted by our stakeholders to store and process valuable data related to tyre recycling and resource recovery. Achieving ISO certification has been a rigorous 12-month process and is testament to the strength of our approach to information security.
“It also provides assurance to our scheme participants, partners, and stakeholders that we have all the necessary controls in place to ensure their data is protected.
“Marking our 10-year anniversary, achieving ISO certification is a testament to our organisation’s increasing maturity and commitment to excellence. We believe in setting the highest standards for ourselves and for our industry. A commitment to security, transparency and good governance underpins everything we do at TSA.”
Goodman added, “In an era where data breaches and cyber threats are increasingly common, we’ve continued to demonstrate our commitment to secure information management, supported by rigorous compliance, program oversight, and robust information security systems.”
Information security has never been more crucial, with many organisations facing evolving cyber threats. By implementing and following the necessary steps to comply with the ISO 27001:2022 standard, TSA has identified and implemented measures to eliminate security risks, certifying the security practices adopted within the organisation.
ISO is an independent, non-governmental, international organisation that develops standards to ensure the quality, safety, and efficiency of products, services, and systems.

Background on Tyre Stewardship Australia
Australia’s tyre product steward was established in 2014 to implement the national voluntary Tyre Product Stewardship Scheme (TPSS) – an ACCC-authorised industry framework to reduce the environmental, health and safety impacts of the 540,000 tonnes or 67.5 million Equivalent Passenger Units (EPUs) of used tyres generated in 2022-23.
TSA’s vision is of a circular economy for end-of-life (EOL) tyres that contribute to a sustainable society.
It works all along the tyre supply chain to minimise waste and increase value for government, industry, businesses and consumers, by:
- Accrediting and monitoring compliance of TPSS participants – now 1,700 and counting, including tyre manufacturers, retailers, collectors, and recyclers who are committed to sustainable practices.
- Working with levy contributors to invest in market development initiatives – over $9 million invested to date, including:
- research and development.
- commercialisation of new productive uses for EOL tyres driving the transformation of a waste product into a useful commodity, creating new industries and jobs while reducing the environmental harm caused by the illegal dumping of old tyres.
- Providing a range of ESG tools and services for use by government, industry, R&D and consumers, including:
- Foreign End Market Verification (FEMV) platform – the only global platform that verifies Australian-generated end-of-life tyres are not causing environmental or social harm at their final destination.
- Sustainable Outcomes Indicator star rating which drives and promotes best practice operations and the development and use of tyre-derived materials and products in the Australian market.
