Africa-Press – Eswatini. <\/strong><\/span>The Eswatini Electricity Company (EEC)has received a seal of approval for being one of the internationally recognised companies which adheres to international standards, developed and published by the International Organisation of Standardization (ISO).<\/b><\/p>\n

The local utility has been officially accredited with three ISO Certifications: ISO 9001 \u2013 Quality Management System, ISO 14001 \u2013 Environmental Management System and ISO 45001 \u2013 Occupational Health & Safety; which are all fundamental standards that form the foundation of EEC\u2019s operations.<\/p>\n

This certification handover took place on Thursday at the company\u2019s head office in Mbabane, in the presence of international accreditation system body – DQS, EEC Chairman – Dr Phil Mnisi, Board members, Executive and Management. EEC was accredited following extensive ISO audits which were successfully carried out in 2022. This recognition means EEC is a well-run business that has structure, is stable and ready for growth.<\/p>\n

According to DQS\u2019 Executive Director Vusi Bongwe, EEC achieved this milestone despite challenging times of COVID-19.<\/p>\n

\u201cAttaining the ISO standards is the highest achievement, and the company should be proud of itself. EEC has really made Eswatini very proud. Thank you for partnering with DQS and I can assure you that your name is within the industry\u2019s international register,\u201d Bongwe said.<\/p>\n

He stated that being accredited by DQS is not easily achieved, but requires strong will and commitment from the top management, all the way to the employees working on the ground.<\/p>\n

EEC Managing Director, Ernest Mkhonta stated that the road towards the ISO accreditation was implemented during a very challenging and gruesome time, due to the COVID-19 outbreak.<\/p>\n

\u201cThrough development of a COVID-19 Management Plan, management fast tracked virtual implementation of key milestones such trainings, process mapping, documentation reviews and operational meetings,\u201d Mkhonta said.<\/p>\n

EEC Chairman Dr. Phil Mnisi congratulated the EEC team for working hard and putting the company on the international standards map.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe systems benefits are coherent through better performance indices, less environmental incidents, lower workplace injuries, lower life threatening near misses and zero product\/service linked fatalities. We congratulate EEC on this achievement and encourage management to embrace the principles of the systems as a way of realizing more value out of the investment,\u201d Mnisi said.<\/p>\n
