Nigeria’s shipping and logistics firm, Fortune Global Shipping and Logistics Limited (FGSL), has been awarded the revered ISO 9001:2015 certification as an attestation to its effective Quality Management System that ensures optimum customer and stakeholder satisfaction.

The accreditation is a statement of commitment to the brand’s business principles of compliance, transparency, and adherence to global best practices. To obtain ISO 9001:2015, which is the world’s most popular quality management system, the FGSL teams in Lagos and Port Harcourt, Nigeria, underwent extensive stages of internal and external audits that included the development and implementation of a Quality Management System (QMS), documentation review, pre-audit, initial assessment, final audit and close-out of all identified non-conformities.
