Management Approach
To continuously improve our sustainability performance, DSD has explored and made reference to applicable international standards such as ISO 9001, ISO 14001 and OHSAS 18001 over the years to strengthen its management practice. Moreover, we are evaluating the possibility of implementing ISO 50001 Energy Management System in our sewerage facilities to identify opportunities in saving energy.
