Sacyr has achieved a new milestone in its pursuit of operational excellence and corporate responsibility by obtaining ISO 45001 certification from SGS, a global leader in inspection, verification, testing, and certification. This recognition confirms that the company’s highly effective occupational health and safety management system complies with the strictest international standards.
The ISO 45001 standard establishes a global framework to improve employee safety, reduce workplace risks, and create healthier work environments. It is designed for the easy integration with other standards, such as the ISO 9001 (Quality) and ISO 14001 (Environment), and enables organisations to optimise processes, strengthen preventative culture, and minimise workplace accidents.
Sacyr’s certification reinforces the company’s commitment to the wellbeing of its employees and underscores its approach to comprehensive occupational risk management across all areas of the group’s activity. It serves as a testament to Sacyr’s willingness to go beyond regulatory compliance and incorporate proactive prevention and ongoing improvement criteria.
At the certification presentation, Fernando Lozano, Sacyr’s Corporate General Manager, stated: "Behind this global certification is a tremendous amount of work on the part of the Sacyr team, in conjunction with SGS, and a steadfast commitment from our company to operate with maximum safety on all projects”.
This is the latest achievement in Sacyr’s commitment to key areas, such as quality, environment, energy efficiency, and carbon footprint. Obtaining ISO 45001 certification represents a decisive step in establishing an integrated management system, geared toward sustainability, innovation, and wellness.
For his part, Álvaro Rodríguez de Roa, head of Business Assurance at SGS Iberia, said, "The ISO 45001 certification obtained by Sacyr reflects a strong preventative culture and responsible occupational risk management. In particular, SGS values the group’s commitment to ongoing improvement and the integration of health and safety as strategic pillars of its management model. This achievement makes Sacyr an industry benchmark in terms of workplace safety and corporate sustainability”.
