The Gautrain Management Agency (GMA) has proudly secured ISO certification for its Integrated Management System (IMS), demonstrating full compliance with internationally recognised standards in Quality (ISO 9001), Environmental Management (ISO 14001), and Occupational Health and Safety (ISO 45001), as certified by DQS in South Africa.
This milestone affirms GMA’s position as a forward-looking public entity committed to aligning its operations with global best practices in quality management, environmental sustainability, and the health and safety of its workforce and stakeholders.
The ISO certification also serves as a foundation for enhanced accountability, improved service delivery, and strengthened stakeholder confidence. It enables GMA to streamline its processes, reduce environmental impact, and foster a culture of continuous improvement, further positioning the agency as a model of effective and responsible public sector governance.
Speaking at the official certificate handover, Francois Labuschagne, CEO of DQS South Africa, highlighted the broader impact of the achievement.
“This ISO certification supports 16 of the 17 United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). It is a phenomenal accomplishment worthy of celebration, symbolising GMA’s contribution to sustainability and excellence,” he said.
GMA Chief Executive Officer, Tshepo Kgobe, underscored that the certification reflects the collective commitment and capability of the entire organisation.
“I applaud the team’s expertise, resilience, and commitment to excellence, which reflects the high standards that can be achieved within the public sector,” Kgobe said.
Labuschagne added that, “Beyond the official certification handover, this milestone is a celebration of purpose, progress, and public service. GMA has raised the bar for what is achievable within our country’s public sector. At DQS, we are proud to be part of their journey and to support organisations that not only meet standards but set them.”
