PMC Department
Receives ISO 14001:2015
Environmental Certification
Following on from its achievement in gaining company-wide
certification to the highly-coveted OHSAS 18001:2007 standards in
April 2015, the Project Management and Contracts (PMC) department
within Dar Al-Handasah, are proud to announce the success of
achieving the globally recognized and enviable ISO 14001:2015
standards for Environmental Management
With Health, Safety and Environment amongst the top priorities with
our clients, our objectives are clear, to protect our employees and
reduce our environmental impacts in everything we do. The newly
certified Environmental Management System will form part of the
overall integrated Health Safety and Environmental Management
System (HSMES) and will be unique towards the needs of our clients' in
regards to the Supervision of PMC projects.
The certification process, which commenced last year, was made
possible through the hard work and committed efforts of all PMC
employees, and comes after a long process of introducing, mentoring
and integrating refined environmental practices across our projects
globally.
It is becoming more and more important to demonstrate to both our
clients and employees that thinking about our environmental impacts,
and putting in place systems, will not only benefit the environment, but
will strive to reduce costs and improve energy efficiency.
Importance of the new certification
The new certification is the end result of a lot of hard work and
something the whole PMC department can be proud of; the new
certification is important for a number of reasons, namely:
·
Enhancement of our environmental performances
·
Fulfills the PMC commitment towards continuous improvement.
·
Implements clear processes which everyone will understand and
follow
·
Provides a systematic approach to identifying potential
environmental aspects and impacts and reduces the likelihood of
them occurring
·
Improves employees awareness of environmental management
practices and the importance of reducing the impact we have on
the environment.
It's been branded by our certification body `SGS' that we are one of
the first organizations in the field of Project Management, to achieve
certification to the new 2015 version of ISO 14001.
