Tecom Investments, a member of Dubai Holding and established master developer and operator of world class industry-focused business communities, has been recognised for its business continuity management system by DNV GL, a leading certification body.

It has had its business continuity management system certified for ISO 22301:2012, making it one of very few organisations in the UAE to achieve this rating, said a statement.

The rating provides a globally recognised validation for Tecom’s disaster response capabilities and mechanisms for fast recovery, it said.

Hamad Huraiz, chief operations officer, Tecom, said: “We are delighted to have been accredited with this standard in recognition of our tireless commitment to business excellence and ensuring continuity for all of our employees and business partners. In an organisation of our size, it is imperative that we have the right systems in place to support the ongoing development of our partners so that we can continue to play an effective role in the development of the economy.

“This accreditation is part of a long term process in which we have received a number of similar accreditations all geared to supporting performance enhancement.”

The ISO certification provides a number of benefits, including assurance of established continuity practices; competitive edge; enhanced stakeholder satisfaction; enhanced investor and shareholder confidence; demonstrating mature corporate governance; safety of assets; and reinforcing benchmarking to global standards, the statement added. - TradeArabia News Service
