DERRY HARBOUR CELEBRATES ISO ACCREDITATION
DERRY Port and Harbour Commissioners are celebrating following their attainment of the internationally recognised quality standard, the ISO 14001 accreditation.
Designed to demonstrate an organisation’s commitment to ‘green’ management systems, the ISO 14001 accreditation helps to support the protection of the environment and prevention of pollution whilst still considering socio-economic needs.
Regional Development Minister, Gregory Campbell, presented the ISO 14001 accreditation to the Commissioners during a visit to the port on Monday 17 July.
Mr Campbell said: "The achievement of this internationally recognised quality standard speaks volumes for the Commissioners’ commitment to improving the environment for the Port, its users, staff and the whole local community. I warmly congratulate the Commissioners on their success and I have no doubt they will want to build on this in the future."
During his visit, the Minister also received a presentation from the Commissioners on the outcome of the recent public consultation exercise on the Fort George site.
"I very much look forward to seeing the outcome of the proposed Strategic Review of the Port and Fort George site. I would also commend the Commissioners on the wide-ranging public consultation process they have undertaken.
"As a result of this, they are now very well informed regarding public opinion and this information will obviously be useful during their further consideration of the matter." (CL)
