ATI secures new ISO certification

ASIAN Terminals, Inc. (ATI) on Monday said it is now ISO 45001:2018 certified, making it the first international port operator in the Philippines to receive the top-tier certification in occupational health and safety.

It was also recertified as compliant in areas of Environment Management (ISO 14001:2005), Quality Management (ISO 9001:2015) and Supply Chain Security Management (ISO 28000:2007).

“We are very pleased to be the first international terminal operator in the Philippines to have secured the ISO 45001:2018 and be recertified for our Integrated Management System. These achievements further attest that ATI’s processes are at par with world-best practices,” ATI Executive Vice-President William Khoury said in the statement.

The certifications were made by independent auditing firm TUV Rheinland Philippines.

“As a responsible port organization, it is our conscious commitment to implement the highest standards on health, safety, quality, security and environment, which collectively contribute to safer, better and more efficient port services for the Philippine supply chain,” Mr. Khoury added.

The certifications are developed by the International Organization for Standardization (ISO), an organization that forms international standards often used as metric for a company’s products, services or systems. These are conferred by third party certification bodies.

During the first half, ATI posted an 18.22% increase in its attributable net income to P1.4 billion on the back of record-high volumes. —
