RAMIRENT PLC PRESS RELEASE 19 DECEMBER 2014 at 10:00
Vantaa, Finland, 2014-12-19 09:00 CET (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) —
In accordance with the strategic objective of building a common Ramirent Platform, Ramirent has received a multisite certification for its management system “RamiWay”. The multi-site certification states that Ramirent’s management system fulfils the requirements set by the standards ISO 9001, ISO 14001, OHSAS 18001 for quality, environmental and occupational health and safety management. The multi-site certification covers today Finland, Sweden, Estonia, Latvia and Lithuania. The certification is planned to cover also the rest of Ramirent countries by the end of 2016.
“The basic requirement for multi-site certification is a common management system and the advantages that it provides are especially seen in the customer interface. A common management system with recognised international certification secures the same high level of quality to all our customers no matter where they deal with us by enabling strong common ways of operating, systematic follow-up, sharing of best practices and continual improvement throughout the organization,” says Marjo Räisälä, Ramirent’s Quality Manager.
Applying for multi-site certification is common among organisations that operate on multiple sites and especially when these are located in many countries. In the multi-site certification Ramirent is no longer treated as a company operating in separate countries, but instead one company without country borders operating through multiple sites and managed through one common management system.
“A team of highly motivated persons at Ramirent have defined common working procedures and during the auditing phase we could follow how the working methods between countries became uniform and efficient. I believe the multi-site certification requirements will help Ramirent to continually improve performance and enhance site-to-site consistency,” comments Bureau Veritas’ Lead Auditor Pekka Virta.
