DECEMBER 5, 2016 — Within weeks of becoming the first shipyard in Canada to earn the ISO 9001:2015 certification, Davie Shipbuilding has succeeded in meeting the latest globally-recognized environmental standards by becoming the first yard in Canada to implement an environmental management system based on ISO 14001:2015, promoting environmental stewardship at all levels.

“Davie has a history of rising to the challenge,” said CEO Jared Newcombe. “Regulatory requirements, public concerns, climate change and of course, Davie’s forward thinking, which is an integral part of our DNA, have pushed us to take this additional step to show our know-how and dedication to the marine industry. “

Developed along three main lines, such as compliance with environmental laws, continuous improvement and pollution prevention. Davie’s environmental management system had to go through a full and comprehensive audit in order to obtain the ISO 14001:2015 certification. Issued by the International Organization for Standardization, it recognizes, among other things, the organization’s ability to implement proactive measures to preserve the environment from harm and degradation.
