Julius Berger secures ISO 14001 certification

Julius Berger Nigeria Plc has obtained ISO 14001:2015 certification for its Environmental Management System, with the certification subject to annual surveillance audits.

TVECert presented the certification in Abuja on Tuesday after auditing the company’s environmental management processes.

Speaking at the presentation, TVECert Lead Auditor, Mr Ben Braimoh, said the certification confirmed that Julius Berger’s Environmental Management System met international requirements for managing and improving environmental performance.

“This has not been an easy process, but the commitment demonstrated by your top management made it possible to achieve this certification within a relatively short period,” he said.

Braimoh added that the company’s Health, Safety and Environment team facilitated the process through the timely submission of documents and evidence required for the audit.

“The prompt submission of audit evidence by your HSE team ensured a seamless evaluation process, which led to the quick approval and issuance of your certificate,” he added.

He noted, however, that the certification would remain subject to annual surveillance audits and could be withdrawn if the organisation failed to comply with the stipulated requirements.

“It is essential that your organisation continues to implement the requirements of the standard. The certification will be reviewed yearly, and failure to meet the stipulated requirements could result in its withdrawal,” he noted.

Also speaking, the Managing Director of Julius Berger Nigeria Plc, Engr. Dr Peer Lubasch, said the certification validated the company’s environmental management efforts and reinforced its commitment to meeting international standards.

“We are grateful for the meticulous assessment of our operations and the guidance provided. At Julius Berger, we consistently pursue initiatives that demonstrate compliance with internationally accepted standards. This certification not only validates our efforts but also strengthens our credibility with customers, investors, regulators and the wider public,” he said.

Lubasch added that the company would continue to integrate environmental considerations into its operations and long term planning.

“This certification confirms that we have met the requirements of ISO 14001:2015 and reinforces our resolve to build on this achievement by embedding environmental responsibility into everything we do,” he added.

ISO 14001:2015 is an international standard that provides a framework for organisations to identify, monitor and manage the environmental impact of their operations through continuous improvement and regulatory compliance.
