Financial Energy Review
As a testament of its dedication to providing premium services in electricity
distribution to customers and in line with Good International Industry Practices
(GIIP), Ikeja Electric’s Integrated Management System (IMS) was recertified after an
intensive review of its policies, processes and procedures.
The IMS certification which collapses various management systems into a single,
overall comprehensive, and harmonised management system, increases efficiency
and effectiveness, motivates employees, improves document management, internal
and external communication, amongst other benefits.
Speaking during the presentation ceremony at the company’s corporate
headquarters, Mrs Folake Soetan, MD/CEO of Ikeja Electric, expressed delight at
the latest additions to the organisation’s kitty, which further reinforces the company’s
unwavering commitment to the promotion of environmental sustainability, safety and
well-being of stakeholders, and satisfactory customer experience, stating that, "Ikeja
Electric remains resolute in prioritizing Quality, Health, Safety, and Environment in
our daily business operations and this recertification is a testament to our consistent
efforts to uphold the highest standards in all we do."
According to the Head, Quality, Health, Safety & Environment, Engr. Jamiu Badmos,
“Achieving the feat of three distinctive certifications at once is the first of its kind in
our industry and it covers the ISO 9001:2015 on Quality Management Systems, ISO
14001:2015 on Environmental Management Systems and ISO 45001:2018 on
Occupational Health & Safety Management Systems. This marks a milestone in our
journey towards a future that is both technologically advanced and environmentally
responsible.”
Jamiu reiterated the fact that this is not just a source of pride, but a charge to meet
up with the zero-fatality mandate set by the company’s board and management.
“Even though our performance and numbers set us ahead within the energy value
chain, we need to get to the point where we have no fatality recorded for staff or third
party; as the leader of the DisCos “. He expressed.
While presenting the certificates, the Deputy lead auditor, Bluestar Management
Systems Pvt. Ltd, Mrs Oyenike Shobowale, congratulated the Board, management
and staff of the company on the outstanding feat, setting it as a global brand. “Ikeja
Electric is the new pace setter on the energy value chain and other stakeholders
need to step up their game in their dealings with the company. It is important,
however, to keep reviewing the system and making improvements.” She said.
The leadership of Ikeja Electric is steadfast in its commitment to operational
excellence, leveraging technology to enhance exceptional service delivery and
continues to be at the forefront of innovations in the energy sector through its
mantra, ‘Customer First, Technology Now.’
