ELGA Process Water gets Verified
23 January 2008 12:17
ELGA Process Water, the high purity water specialists of Veolia Water Solutions & Technologies, has achieved Category B2 registration under the Achilles Verify scheme demonstrating capability in the areas of Safety, Health, Environment and Quality (SHEQ). The Achilles Group, a leading global provider of supply chain management solutions, has served the utilities sector for over a decade. Their Utilities Vendor Database (UVDB), originally established in 1996, is now used by all the major UK utilities companies to source suppliers and contractors in the power, water, telecoms and gas sectors.
The Verify scheme is focused on SHEQ assessments and is used by the utilities to qualify their supply chain through a standard assessment of suppliers' management systems and site performance. Under the Verify scheme, the company is awarded a certificate which evaluates scores for both the management system and on-site performance under three headings: Health and Safety, Environment, and Quality.
ELGA Process Water's management system scored 87% for Health and Safety, 67% for Environment, and 92% for Quality, while their site performance scored 98%, 91% and a massive 100% in the same categories, but Managing Director, Martyn Fisher, is far from complacent. "Safety, Health, Environment and Quality are of paramount importance to our clients in the utilities sector, and certification by Verify is a measure of our competence within this field," he says. "The scheme is a recognised external assessment and we are very proud to have achieved certification in the highest B2 category. Verify assigns an assessor who will visit us annually to update the assessment and issue a new certificate so that both we and our clients can compare year on year improvements."
ELGA Process Water's principal market in the utilities sector is high purity water for power generation but Martyn Fisher is confident that certification will open up many new business opportunities.
