Maxis Network Site First In Malaysia To Be Certified With Iso 14001:2015 Ems

KUALA LUMPUR, Oct 10 (Bernama) -- Maxis’ Subang Hi-Tech Technical Operations Centre (TOC) became the first telco network site in Malaysia to be awarded the ISO 14001:2015 Environmental Management Systems (EMS) certification by SIRIM QAS International. 

Maxis Berhad in a statement said the certification recognises the planning, design, operations and maintenance of equipment and facilities at the TOC.

Expressing their extreme pride, Maxis’s Chief Network Officer Abdul Karim Fakir Ali said the recognition signified that they were on the right track in their EMS implementation at the Subang Hi-Tech TOC and could emulate the same controls in other Maxis TOCs around Malaysia.

“As responsible corporate citizens, Maxis continuously strives to integrate sustainability practices into its business operations to create meaningful impact on people and the planet.

“We will continue to monitor and deploy initiatives to ensure sustainable operations, improve operation efficiency, meet compliance requirements, and build stakeholders’ trust in our business,” he was quoted in the statement.

SIRIM QAS International Chief Executive Officer Nur Fadhilah Muhammad presented the certification to Abdul Karim at the Maxis Business Innovation Centre in Menara Maxis here today.

According to the telco company, the ISO 14001:2015 identifies the requirements for an EMS that an organisation can apply to improve its environmental performance, which in turn helps organisations manage environmental responsibilities in a systematic way and achieve intended environmental goals.

It also drives companies to enhance environmental performance by taking a full view of their goods and services supply chain.

Applauding Maxis Berhad for the significant certification, Nur Fadhilah said she is pleased to see innovative organisations like Maxis taking the essential steps to enhance their environmental performance and minimise their operations’ environmental impact, granting them a competitive edge in the market.

“I hope to see more organisations take strategic approaches to managing their environmental responsibilities," she said.
