Sheikh Ahmed receives the certificate from Taczala.

Dubai Silicon Oasis wins key ISO certificates

DUBAI, December 20, 2014

Dubai Silicon Oasis Authority (DSOA) has received the ISO 50001:2011 and 14001 for improving its energy and environmental management system.
 
It is the regulatory body for Dubai Silicon Oasis, the integrated free zone technology park strategically placed on Sheikh Mohammed Bin Zayed road.

Sheikh Ahmed Bin Saeed Al Maktoum, the chairman of Dubai Silicon Oasis Authority, received the ISO certification from Andrzej Taczala of Lloyds Registered Quality Assurance (LRQA) in the presence of its vice-chairman and CEO Dr Mohamed Al Zarooni,.

The ISO 50001:2011 certification was for meeting the requirements in establishing, implementing, maintaining and improving its energy management system and performance, while ISO 14001 was for environmental management system.

Sheikh Ahmed said the ISO certification was another milestone for DSO's efforts in integrating innovative and sustainable solutions.

"This was possible through shaping a conducive environment with the right structure and policies in the free zone. Such a certification also positions DSO as a pioneer of energy/environment efficiency and sustainability among its international counterparts," he added.

This achievement complements its earlier success of gaining the ISO 9001:2008 and ISO 27001:2005 for quality management systems and implementing global standards in Information Security Management Systems at the high-tech park respectively.  

Dr Al Zarooni said the certification was proof of DSOA’s mature framework that allows developing policies for the efficient energy and environment management with an aim to set long term objectives.

The authority is able to analyse data collected from energy consumption in order to improve its processes and make informed decisions on energy management.

"We have always been committed to our CSR strategy focused on contributing to a greener environment, improving the living standards for the community and upgrading human capital. These objectives are achievable only by continuously investing in energy solutions that align the DSO network with global standards," stated the official.

"That, in turn, will bring transparency in our energy usage, improve energy management as well as translate into cost optimisation that will end up to be cost savings," he added.-TradeArabia News Service
