Ceylon Tobacco set for ISO certification CTC recently underwent a comprehensive audit by Det Norske Veritas (DNV), Norway to verify its ISO 9001/14001 Quality and Environmental Management Systems. DNV found the systems to be effective and recommended for certification. "This can only be achieved by rigorous preparation and dedication by all employees and the commitment at all levels" said Ahmed Zeb, Operations Director. He said "at CTC our emphasis is on Continuous Improvement and significantly enhancing our overall performance. While the ISO integrated certification has been a constant objective, reaching that goal represents a beginning rather than an end of our efforts. An integrated ISO 9001/14001 Management System results in the simultaneous achievement of both Quality and the Environmental Standards. Among ISO's most widely known and successful standards, ISO 9001 has become an international reference for quality requirements especially in business to business dealings, and ISO 14001 looks set to achieve as much, if not more, in helping organisations meet current day environmental challenges, he said. |
