Commitment to Excellence

Van der Vlist's QHSE Recertification and Rail Services certification

Van der Vlist has successfully completed recertification of its Quality, Health & Safety, and Environmental (QHSE) management system. This certification demonstrates commitment, perseverance and compassion for the continuous improvement of our QHSE performance throughout Van der Vlist’s services on offer.

At Van der Vlist, our commitment is to:

Continuously protect the personal health, wellbeing and safety of our employees and others involved in the course of our business operations. Our goal is to achieve Zero Harm. For us, no job is urgent or important that it cannot be done in a safe and healthy way.

Consistently meet or exceed customers’ expectations and requirements and ensure continuous customer satisfaction on the basis of integrity and transparency.

Minimize our impact on and prevent polluting the environment as much as reasonably possible. We are good stewards with respect to God’s creation.

Comply with all applicable laws, regulations and legislation in the countries and markets in which we operate.

The recertification audits, conducted by Bureau Veritas Certification, are in accordance with the latest internationally recognized ISO management system standards ISO 9001, NATO AQAP 2110, ISO 14001 and ISO 45001.

The audits were conducted over a period of one month sampling various Van der Vlist operating centers across Europe. As a result, Van der Vlist’s management system certifications shall be extended for another three years. As part of maintaining and improving the level of performance on QHSE-management throughout the three-year certification period, Bureau Veritas will perform annual surveillance audits.

Furthermore, ‘Rail Services’ is now added to the certified scope. This activity is becoming increasingly important since the development and usage of Van der Vlist’s XL-Bolster rail transport solution for special & heavy and out-of-gauge cargo and recently commissioned and privately owned rail connection at our new Multipurpose Terminal in Moerdijk.

With these renewed certifications and the addition of 'Rail Services' to our certified management system scope, Van der Vlist is committed to continue leading the way in QHSE-excellence. Our commitment to safety, customer satisfaction, and environmental stewardship remains unwavering as we move forward. Here's to a new cycle of continuous improvement and success, as part of a future of The Power to Care!
