Presenting the certificate of approval to DP World’s CEO, Mr Mohammed Sharaf, at its Head Office in Dubai, Lloyd’s Register Group’s Area Manager for the Europe, the Middle East and Africa, Tony Muncer, stated that LRQA is delighted to be working with DP World, an organisation which is clearly placing security at the top of its agenda and showing the rest of world that management systems are an imperative tool for managing supply chain security risks.
