Ikeja Electric (IE) has announced
the recertification of its Integrated Management System (IMS) with three major
certifications – ISO 9001:2015 for Quality Management Systems, ISO 14001:2015
for Environmental Management Systems, and ISO 45001:2018 for Occupational
Health & Safety Management Systems. The IMS certification collapses various
management systems into a single, comprehensive and harmonised management
system; increases efficiency and effectiveness; motivates employees; improves
document management; internal and external communication, among other benefits.
The firm’s Managing Director and
Chief Executive, Mrs Folake Soetan, at the recertification presentation
ceremony in Lagos, said it has further reinforced the company’s unwavering
commitment to the promotion of environmental sustainability, safety and
well-being of stakeholders, and satisfactory customer experience.
“Ikeja Electric remains resolute
in prioritising quality, health, safety, and environment in our daily business
operations and this recertification is a testament to our consistent efforts to
uphold the highest standards in all we do.”
IE’s Head, Quality, Health,
Safety & Environment, Jamiu Badmos, noted that achieving the feat of three
distinctive certifications at once is the first of its kind in the industry. He
added that it is a milestone in the DisCo’s journey towards a future that is
both technologically advanced and environmentally responsible.
“Even though our performance and
numbers set us ahead within the energy value chain, we need to get to the point
where we have no fatality recorded for staff or third party; as the leader of
the DisCos,” Badmos submitted.
Presenting the cerification, the
Deputy Lead Auditor, Bluestar Management Systems Pvt. Ltd, Mrs Oyenike
Shobowale: “Ikeja Electric is the new pace setter on the energy value chain and
other stakeholders need to step up their game in their dealings with the
company. It is important, however, to keep reviewing the system and making
improvements.”
Shobowale therefore stated that
the leadership of Ikeja Electric is steadfast in its commitment to operational
excellence, leveraging technology to enhance exceptional service delivery and
continues to be at the forefront of innovations in the energy sector through
its mantra, ‘Customer First, Technology Now.’
