Ghana Gas secures ISO 14001 and ISO 45001 certifications

Ghana Gas has successfully attained ISO 14001 and ISO 45001 certifications, reinforcing its commitment to environmental sustainability and workplace safety.

These internationally recognised standards for Environmental Management (ISO 14001) and Occupational Health and Safety (ISO 45001) highlight the company’s dedication to responsible operations and best industry practices.

The certification process began on November 12, 2019, but faced delays due to the COVID-19 pandemic.

Despite these challenges, Ghana Gas secured ISO 45001 certification for its Occupational Health and Safety Management System on April 1, 2022.

Building on this progress, the company expanded its scope in early 2024 to achieve ISO 14001 certification for its Environmental Management System.

Acting CEO, Ing. Dr. Robert Lartey, noted that the certification journey began under his leadership as General Manager, Operations.

He credited the achievement to the dedication of past and present management, employees, and the Health, Safety, and Environment (HSE) Operations Department, as well as the ISO Project Team, whose efforts ensured compliance with global standards.

Although the Minister of Energy and Green Transition was unable to attend the official celebration, he conveyed his support, commending Ghana Gas for its leadership in environmental sustainability and workplace safety.

The Ministry reaffirmed its commitment to transforming Ghana’s energy sector, with Ghana Gas playing a critical role in advancing this vision.

With these certifications, Ghana Gas continues to integrate sustainable practices into its operations, fostering a safer workplace and minimising its environmental impact.

This milestone further solidifies the company’s position as a leader in industry best practices.

Looking ahead, Ghana Gas is set to launch its next major initiative—ISO 9001 certification—under the theme “A Future of Excellence: Triple ISO Certification – Our Commitment to Quality, Environment, and Safety.”

This project marks another step toward operational excellence, ensuring the company remains at the forefront of Ghana’s energy sector while upholding the highest standards in quality, safety and sustainability.
