The Managing Director of Egbin Power Plc, Mr. Mokhtar Bounour, has pledged that the company would continue to invest in initiatives that would enhance its performance in the power sector.
He also disclosed that the company has been certified to three ISO standards.
Bounour maintained that the company was committed to leveraging certifications to drive continuous improvement and create sustainable value for all stakeholders.
The certifications are ISO 45001:2018 (Occupational Health & Safety Management System), ISO 14001:2015 (Environment Management System), and ISO 9001:2015 (Quality Management System).
Bounour described the certification as a pivotal achievement for the Egbin Power Plant, since it further strengthens its position as a responsible corporate organisation and demonstrates the company’s commitment to creating a safe and healthy work environment, implementing environmentally friendly initiatives, and delivering best-in-class service in the power sector.
“This certification is a testament to our robust compliance with global best practices, as we implement and adhere to the highest standards in our operations, and also establish a comprehensive framework for managing occupational health and safety, environmental impacts, and quality processes,” Bounour said.
According to Genco, the ISO 45001:2018 certification validates Egbin Power’s robust occupational health and safety management system, ensuring the well-being of its employees and contractors.
The ISO 14001:2015 certification recognises the company’s commitment to environmental stewardship and sustainable practices, while the ISO 9001:2015 certification underscores its dedication to delivering consistent, high-quality services.
The company’s Head of Quality, Health, Safety, and Environment (QHSE), Julius Akpong, said the company has a deeply entrenched safety culture and effective management system that guides employees and the company’s operations, thereby ensuring excellence at all times.
“At Egbin Power, we have instituted a structured approach to occupational safety management over the years, while upholding workplace safety, not just as a priority but as part of our core value, which affirms our safety culture, professionalism, integrity and discipline as well as commitment to stakeholders, environmental consciousness and sustainability.
“We continuously standardise our processes and procedures as part of the effort towards strengthening operational safety and ensuring due diligence. Our focus has been the safety of people, equipment, environment, and materials, thereby leading to improved governance, enhanced operational excellence, and sustainability,” Akpong explained.
