Vivo Energy Namibia, the company that distributes and markets Shell branded fuels and lubricants in Namibia, has been awarded ISO 9001: 2015 certification for implementing a recognised Quality Management System (QMS).

ISO 9001:2015 is a globally recognised quality management standard developed and published by the International Organization for Standardization (ISO).

The standard provides a model for the oil marketer to build and maintain an effective quality management system. The standard is based on several quality management principles, including having a strong customer focus, commitment from the company leadership, an outlined process-based approach, and continual improvement of the QMS.

The scope of Vivo Energy Namibia's certification includes receiving of hydrocarbons and lubricants, supply and distribution, storage and handling, transportation to the retail and commercial industries, and the supply of industrial chemicals.

Activities at Vivo Energy Namibia’s corporate headquarters, its fuel depots in, Windhoek and Tsumeb, and its satellite office and lubricants warehouse in Walvis Bay are included in the physical scope of certification.

Efficiency

Vivo Energy Namibia's ISO 9001:2015 certification was issued by the Namibian Standards Institution (NSI), a specialised agency responsible for promoting standardisation and quality assurance in the industry, commerce and the public sectors in Namibia, with the aim of improving product quality, industrial efficiency and productivity, and to promote trade.

Chief Executive Officer (CE) of the NSI, Chie Wasserfall applauded Vivo Energy Namibia for being the first company to be certified by the NSI in the petroleum and fuels sector in Namibia. “After auditing Vivo Energy Namibia’s quality management system, the NSI has found it to be in compliance with the requirements of the ISO 9001:2015 standard”, Wasserfall said. “The certificate awarded to Vivo Energy Namibia is a testimony that the company executes its business activities in a consistent manner and proves that the company commitment to quality is a streamlined approach”, she added.

The Managing Director (MD) of Vivo Energy Namibia, Edward Walugembe noted that the ISO 9001:2015 certification was a great honour for the company, as it seeks to become the most respected energy business in Namibia. “The attainment of this certification is another key milestone for us at Vivo Energy Namibia, especially as we enter into the 10th year of our presence in the Namibian market as a Shell Licensee”, Walugembe stated.

“The assurance that we would like to give the NSI and all our customers is that we will continue to live by the principles in this standard throughout our operations as we bring our products and services to Namibian motorists”, he added.
