Granite Construction Incorporated (NYSE: GVA) announced today that it
has earned ISO 9001:2008 and ISO 14001:2004 certifications for its
project management and construction activities on designated projects in
its Large Project Group.
ISO 9001:2008 and ISO 14001:2004 are well-known international standards
for quality and environmental management systems that represent
state-of-the art practices for companies to manage their quality and
environmental objectives and responsibilities. NSF International
Strategic Registrations, an accredited third-party organization, issued
the certificates after auditing Granite’s management system at the
corporate and project level and verifying that it conforms to the
requirements specified in the standards.
“These certifications are a testament to our outstanding management
teams and ongoing commitment to quality and environmental management
practices on projects across the country,” said James H. Roberts,
Granite’s president and chief executive officer. “This achievement
demonstrates our commitment to operational excellence, continual
improvement and delivering enhanced results to our customers.”
Granite’s certified management system is part of a company-wide Granite
Management System (GMS) built upon the ISO 9001:2004 and ISO 14001:2008
standards. The management processes established by the GMS support
