Asharami Synergy, a Sahara Group
downstream company has received three certifications from the International
Organization for Standardization (ISO) in recognition of the company’s
commitment to global quality, health, safety and environmental standards.
The certifications include the ISO 9001:2015 Quality Management System, ISO
14001:2015 Environmental Management System, and ISO 45001:2018 Occupational
Health and Safety Management System.
The organization followed a rigorous audit process that covered business
efficiency, customer satisfaction, compliance to regulatory requirements,
effective environmental management systems, with provision of safe and healthy
workplaces for employees and other stakeholders. This is a major transition
from the previously held ISO 9001:2008, ISO 14001:2004 and ISO 18001:2007
According to Foluso Sobanjo, Managing Director, Asharami Synergy, “The ISO
certifications reinforce Asharami Synergy’s dedication to global standards
across its value chain, especially in the areas of bulk storage and aviation
fuel supply operations. This continues to make Asharami Synergy a foremost and
distinctive brand in the downstream sector where we deliver fuel solutions that
are driven by technology, seamless supply chain efficiency and adaptable
services tailored to different classes of customers.”
Sobanjo said the ISO certifications will further strengthen Asharami Synergy’s
resolve to promote quality, safety, environmental sustainability, and energy
transition in downstream operations, working in collaboration with national,
regional, and global partners.
“As a member of Sahara Group, a leading energy and infrastructure conglomerate,
we have an unwavering commitment to delivering clean and sustainable energy in
Nigeria and across our other downstream operations in Africa. One of the
requirements of the Quality Management System certification is employee
involvement, consultation, and participation. Every employee of Asharami
Synergy is critical to our quality, safety and sustainability framework, which
we also extend to all our stakeholders to ensure seamless compliance in all our
process and operations,” he stated.
With previous International Air Transport Association (IATA) Strategic
Partnerships and Joint Inspection Group (JIG) Membership, Sobanjo added that
Asharami Synergy would continue to provide direction and leadership for the
sector towards ensuring sustained growth and excellent service experience for
consumers.
