Qatar’s leading logistics provider GWC celebrated the World Quality Day 2019 at one of the company’s warehouses in the Logistics Village Qatar (LVQ), to recognise the achievements accomplished by its employees from all departments.
The event included speeches by safety and quality directors and was attended by members of the senior management team, followed by several edutainment activities that highlighted the company’s commitment to quality, as well as awards distribution for high achievers.
Group CEO Ranjeev Menon said, “GWC approaches all its operations and interactions with a sense of purpose to set a world-class standard in logistics operations, and support Qatar in its vision of becoming a sustainable and diverse economy. This sense of purpose is felt from the top-down and across the entire scope of our offerings, and it starts with our commitment to quality, health, safety and environment throughout our facilities, operations and solutions.”
World Quality Day 2019 is part of a series of events carried by the Chartered Quality Institute (CQI) and its sister organisation, The International Register of Certificated Auditors (IRCA), which celebrate 100 years of promoting the value of using management systems to control business risk and contribute value. Quality management has made significant contributions to advancements in healthcare, manufacturing, construction, energy, defence, and transportation.
