As an Emirati company, Tabreed takes seriously its role in the community and the nation at large. We take our lead from the government’s stated objective of reducing our nation’s carbon footprint and becoming “greener,” while supporting economic and social development.
ISO
CERTIFICATIONS
In 2015, Tabreed was recertified for 3 key ISO certifications:
ISO 9001:2008
ISO 14001:2004
OHSAS 18001:2007
The three certifications, which are reviewed by external audits every three years include ISO 9001:2008 (Quality Management System), which demonstrates the company’s ability to consistently provide a quality of service that meets its customers’ requirements; ISO 14001:2004 (Environmental Management System), which assesses the company’s environmental practices; and OHSAS 18001:2007 (Occupational Health and Safety Management System), which measures the company’s compliance with various health and safety regulations and promotion of employee health and well-being.
Tabreed received its recertifications after an extensive assessment carried out by Intertek International Limited, a leading global ISO accreditation company. The certification process included a comprehensive audit of Tabreed’s district cooling plants’ operations rooms, corporate headquarters as well as its management policies and procedures. The audit also entails an annual review to ensure the company continuously abides by international best practices going forward.
The company attained its first ISO certification in 2002, and has successfully achieved recertification thereafter in 2005, 2008, 2012 & 2015 as per the ISO certification cycle.
ISO certifications underline Tabreed’s commitment to its stakeholders, in particular its employees and environment.
