IMS is an integration of ISO 9001(Quality), ISO 14001 (Environment) and OHSAS 18001 (Occupational Health and Safety) standards into one system that covers all the business processes of Subicwater. This ensures that safety, quality, environmental and business risks are managed and implemented right across the company’s present system. It provides a stable foundation on which to build a more effective management system, creates an effective internal mechanism to improve business performance, and satisfies to a high degree of consistency all stakeholders of the company ( employees, management, customers, suppliers, government, regulators, etc.).

After complying and meeting all the requirements of these international standards covering the scope of water production, treatment and distribution with design of pipelines, Subicwater is now certified to ISO 9001:2000, ISO 14001:2004 and OHSAS 18001:1999. The certification audit was held last December 4-6, 2006 by TUV-SUD Phils., a leading multinational certifying body operating in the Philippines and a subsidiary of TUV Suddeutschland Group, the largest TUV Group in Germany.

The certification was formally received by officials of Subicwater on December 22, 2006 in the presence of its Board of Directors and the members of the Subic Bay Water Regulatory Board.

“Working to be certified under these 3 ISO standards was not an easy task”, says Ms. Canlas. “To be able to provide quality water and services is to have “error-free” systems, processes and procedures. Management decided to work for the three certifications under an integrated approach as these are very closely related. Our IMS policy contains our commitment to continual improvement, to exceeding our customers’ expectation, to protecting our environment, to complying with quality standards and legal requirements, and to creating a healthy and safe working environment for our associates. This policy provides the framework for the formulation of our objectives, targets and programs to achieve our vision to excel”, she further stressed. Once again, Subicwater had shown its commitment to provide quality water & services to its customers.
