The Standards Organization of Nigeria (SON) has recertified Axxela Limited’s Integrated Management System (IMS), which includes ISO 9001:2015, ISO 14001:2015, and ISO 45001:2018, for portfolio development for gas and power projects.
Axxela’s Chief Operating Officer, Kehinde Alabi, spoke about the accomplishment and stated that it demonstrates the company’s commitment to ongoing improvement in the areas of environmental, social, and governance practices by combining quality, environmental management, occupational health, and safety into a single system.
He emphasized that receiving a recertification of its IMS after a thorough audit conducted by the SON is evidence of its unwavering pursuit of operational excellence and dedication to creating a world-class organization that would set the standard for others in the industry.
According to him, Axxela’s adherence to international best practices in managing its operations throughout the whole value chain is validated by the IMS recertification.
“Axxela has successfully incorporated occupational health and safety, environmental, and quality management systems into a number of our business processes. We have effectively leveraged and expanded upon these ESG-focused ideas over the years to improve our operational efficiency and provide our clients with cutting-edge energy solutions,” he stated.
The company was the first in Nigeria’s oil and gas industry to achieve a trifecta Integrated Management System certification of ISO 9001:2015; ISO 14001:2015; and ISO 45001:2018, according to John Okoro, Head of EHSQ at Axxela. He also noted that the recertification is in line with the company’s broader strategic objectives of promoting stakeholder trust, accelerating sustainable growth, and supporting Nigeria’s energy transition agenda.
