Despite the coronavirus outbreak which had severely affected businesses worldwide, Mabuhay Vinyl Corporation (MVC) was awarded with the recertification of its ISO 9001:2015 Quality Management System this year by TÜV SÜD PSB Philippines. This was achieved through a series of remote audits conducted for all sites within the country.
A first for the company, rigorous efforts were made to meet the requirements of the remote audit which included investing in the update and expansion of information and communications technology (ICT) equipment as well as training on the use of various communication platforms (i.e. Microsoft Teams, etc.).
The strong collaboration among the employees and management resulted in a more than favorable outcome as no major non-conformities were issued by the certifying body. Evaluation of the effectiveness of the initiated corrective actions will be followed up next year by TÜV SÜD through a surveillance audit.
MVC also adheres to the international standards on Environment and Occupational Health and Safety Management. Remote audits were also conducted by the same certifying body to check on the compliance of the company to ISO 14001:2015 and ISO 45001:2018. With only opportunities for improvement identified during the audit, the company maintains its certification of both standards.
