GREEN REBEL REACHES NEW GLOBAL STANDARDS MILESTONE

Irish offshore survey company Green Rebel has been recognised by Certification Europe for reaching global standards for quality and environmental management. The new standards are in addition to certificates already received for occupational health and safety and information security. 

Green Rebel is headquartered in Cork and operates a fleet of vessels, buoys and aircraft to deliver the data needed in order to build offshore wind farms. It secured the certification within two years of starting operations. 

The company went through a multi-stage assessment process to secure all four certificates. They are valid for three years and will be subject to mandatory audits to ensure compliance. 

Kieran Ivers, CEO of Green Rebel says, “Offshore wind has the potential to deliver vast amounts of renewable energy and help us to build a cleaner future. However, for Ireland to compete globally it’s necessary for Irish organisations to reach the required international standards. There is a high bar for companies to do business in the offshore industry, and rightly so. Having this certification will allow us to tender for an increased number of valuable tenders and it’s especially rewarding to achieve this within such a short space of time. It illustrates once again the vast skill and experience of the dedicated Green Rebel team. Reaching these industry standards reflects the high standards we set for ourselves every day, in our determination to deliver excellence for our clients.”

Kellie-Anne Heeney, Certification Services Manager with Certification Europe says, “The process of achieving these recent ISO certifications for quality and environmental management systems was rigorous, requiring a collaborative effort from the entire team at Green Rebel to implement processes and procedures that are ingrained in the company’s daily operations. Obtaining certification for a single ISO standard is an excellent accomplishment in itself, but with Green Rebel achieving four international standards, they exemplify their unwavering dedication to delivering the highest quality service worldwide, backed by the prestigious ISO seal of approval. As we move forward, we look forward to continuing our support for Green Rebel as they continue to grow and excel in this domain.”

Green Rebel now has ISO Certification for:

• Quality Management (ISO 9001) which is the world’s most widely used standard. It confirms an organisation’s commitment to improving quality, delivering more efficient operations and improving customer satisfaction.

• Environmental Management Systems (ISO 14001) is a systematic framework used by businesses to manage the immediate and long term environmental impacts of an organisation’s products, services and processes. 

• Occupational Health and Safety (ISO 45001) which is aimed at improving employee safety, reducing workplace risks, and creating better, safer working conditions.

• Information Security Management (ISO 27001) is the international standard for managing risks related to the security of information and data an organisation holds.

Green Rebel has a team of scientists, chemists, engineers, ecologists, vessel crew and business practitioners across multiple locations in Cork and Limerick. It provides the offshore wind and other sectors an end-to-end set of data services that extend from acquisition, processing, interpretations and reporting, with their fleet of purpose-built vessels, aircraft, floating LiDAR buoys and in-house team of scientists and industry experts.
