EFG Holding, a financial institution with a universal bank in Egypt and the leading investment bank in the Middle East and North Africa (MENA), announced it has obtained ISO 45001 certification, the international standard for occupational health and safety management systems.
The certification formalizes the Group’s approach to identifying and managing workplace risks, strengthening health, safety, and environmental (HSE) governance, and embedding safety practices across day-to-day operations. ISO 45001 sets out requirements covering hazard identification, risk assessment, operational controls, emergency preparedness, employee engagement, and performance monitoring.
Mohammed Saleh, Head of Administration and Facilities at EFG Holding, said, “The certification reinforces our commitment to protecting our people and strengthening governance and risk management,” adding that the Group will continue to “integrate health and safety as a core priority across our operations and pursue continuous improvement.”
Amr Ahmed Abdelaal, Senior Security Manager at EFG Holding, said, “The standard strengthens our health and safety management system by improving how we identify risks and implement effective controls, and supports a culture of ongoing improvement.”
The ISO 45001 certification complements EFG Holding’s broader compliance and operational excellence initiatives, offering employees, investors, regulators, and business partners assurance that the Group follows internationally recognized occupational health and safety best practices.
