Manama: BMMI has successfully achieved recertification for its Integrated Management System (IMS), becoming one of the first organisations in the region to pass audits for the newly revised global standards for quality and environment management systems.
BMMI first implemented and gained certification for its IMS in 2012, becoming the first in its industry in Bahrain to do so. The Group’s IMS consists of certification in Health and Safety Management Systems, Quality Management Systems, Environmental Management Systems and Food Safety Management Systems.
The re-certification audit was conducted by Bureau Veritas, and covered a number of BMMI’s divisions and locations, including its Sitra headquarters, BMMI shops and Nader Trading.
“Although companies have three years to comply with the new revisions implemented towards the end of 2015, we were able to accelerate the process to meet the requirements of the certification in a short period of time,” said IMS vice president for administration and security Suttish Boodoo.
“This certification shows the effectiveness of our IMS and we are pleased to tell our stakeholders, shareholders, principals and customers that BMMI continues to lead the industry in compliance and strives to achieve and deliver the highest quality products and services, and to protect the wellbeing of its customers, employees and its communities,” he added.
BMMI’s commitment to international standards truly sets it apart and has delivered immense value to the group over the years, said BMMI executive vice president and chief financial officer Ammar Aqeel Al Hassan.
