The global quality assurance and risk management organization DNV GL, after an additional audit at Grigeo Klaipėda, has decided to return to the company the certification certifying the compliance with the environmental standards.
Tomas Eikinas, the general manager of the company, states that the recovery of this certificate is crucial for the company not only to achieve the set goals, but also to regain the trust of the public and its customers.
The ISO 14001 certificate issued to Grigeo Klaipėda was suspended on the 17th of January. Immediately afterwards, the management of the company made important changes not only in the fields of sustainability and the environment, but also in the carrying out of its operations in general. The positive changes were also recognized by the specialists of the world’s leading certification company, who conducted an audit in October and after a thorough inspection decided to renew the validity of the suspended certificate.
“The recovery of this certificate is another proof that we have learned from the mistakes of the past and are striving for changes that would bring positive results not only to the company, but also to the residents of Klaipėda. The company’s renewal plan, which includes the recovery of the ISO 14001 certificate and compliance with its requirements, as well as other important aspects, such as the implementation of the company’s sustainability strategy or the launched wastewater network renewal project, was prepared precisely for that,” says Tomas Eikinas.
