Management System

Management System & Certifications

Safeguarding our environment, assets, and people is fundamental to our operations. To achieve this, we have established and diligently maintain a comprehensive integrated management system. This system is meticulously designed to comply with the most recognized international standards, ensuring consistency, safety, and continuous improvement across all our activities:

ISO 9001: Quality Management
ISO 14001: Environmental Management
ISO 45001 (OHSAS 18001): Occupational Health & Safety Management
ISO 55001: Asset Management

 

Compliance & Auditing

Our management system is the cornerstone of our commitment to meeting all legal, regulatory, and other requirements applicable to our business and activities. We take this responsibility with the utmost seriousness.

To ensure full and proper compliance, we conduct rigorous oversight through a multi-layered approach. Regular inspections and tours of our premises are not only conducted by our own trained internal staff but also by external auditors and regulatory officials. This dual-layered scrutiny ensures objectivity and the highest standards of accountability.

In April 2017, the effectiveness and robustness of our management system were successfully audited and validated by DNV GL, a world-leading certification body.

 

Our Standards Explained

ISO 9001: Quality Management
This standard provides a proven model for a quality management system that focuses on the effectiveness of our business processes to achieve desired results. ISO 9001 promotes the adoption of a process approach, emphasizing the importance of understanding requirements, delivering added value, monitoring process performance and effectiveness, and driving continual improvement through objective measurements.

ISO 14001: Environmental Management
As the most recognized international standard for environmental management systems, ISO 14001 provides a robust framework through which we deliver tangible environmental performance improvement. It ensures our operations are aligned with our environmental policy commitments, helping us to manage our environmental responsibilities systematically.

ISO 45001: Occupational Health & Safety
Succeeding OHSAS 18001, ISO 45001 is the internationally accepted standard for Occupational Health and Safety (OH&S) management systems. Applicable to organizations of any size or sector, it provides a framework based on the well-established Plan-Do-Check-Act principles. It requires us to systematically identify hazards, assess OH&S risks related to our activities and services, determine necessary controls, and set clear objectives and targets to continually improve our OH&S performance, protecting our most valuable asset—our people.

ISO 55001: Asset Management
This standard specifies requirements for an asset management system within the context of our organization. Applied to all types of assets we manage, it ensures we extract optimal value from them, balance costs, risks, and performance, and maintain the long-term sustainability and reliability of our operations.
