Manateq's steadfast dedication to the highest standards of Health, Safety and Environment Management (HSEM) in its Special Economic Zones and Logistics Parks has been recognised with an international seal of approval through a double ISO certification.
Manateq has been awarded ISO 14001:2015 and BS OHSAS 18001:2007 certificates for MANATEQ HSEMS after a comprehensive, independent review and audit conducted by TV NORD CERT GmbH, a service-provider for comprehensive testing and certification on the basis of global specifications and standards for products, services and management systems.
The double certification follows the ISO 9001:2008 certificate for Manateq Quality Management System that was awarded in 2016 .
According to the International Organization for Standardization (ISO), the ISO 14001:2015 certificate means that an organization meets stringent international requirements in implementing an environmental management system to meet their environmental responsibilities that contribute to sustainability, provide value for the environment, the organisation and its employees, clients and interested third parties.
