Certified for a safer, greener tomorrow.

In a significant milestone in P&O Ferries’ transformational journey, we are thrilled to announce the successful attainment of two prestigious certifications - ISO 14001 and ISO 45001.

• ISO 14001 is the international standard for Environmental Management Systems (EMS), emphasising the need for organisations to prioritise their environmental impact. Our certification not only demonstrates our commitment to sustainability but also provides us with tangible benefits, including greater control over costs.

• ISO 45001, the world’s standard for Occupational Health and Safety, is a crucial step in ensuring the well-being of our employees and visitors. In a world where preventable workplace incidents result in millions of injuries, our commitment to ISO 45001 reflects our dedication to providing a safe and healthy working environment.

These certifications are a testament to our commitment to excellence in Health, Safety, Security, and Environment (HSSE) across our Shoreside Operations, including Channel House, Cairnryan, Larne, Dublin, and Dover Port.

Our journey towards ISO 14001 and ISO 45001 certifications involved rigorous audits conducted by NQA auditors across multiple locations. This process ensures that our internal controls align with international standards, setting the stage for a robust Integrated Management System.

These certifications are not just milestones but symbols of our unwavering commitment to excellence in environmental management and occupational health and safety. As we continue to ‘Adapt and Evolve’ to ‘Build for a better future’, these certifications serve as a foundation for sustained growth, improved productivity, and an enhanced organisational safety culture.
