Case Study: Emirates Flight Catering achieves ISO 45001 certification with LRQA

Emirates Flight Catering becomes world’s first airline catering company to secure ISO 45001 with LRQA

Emirates Flight Catering (EKFC), a provider of over 225,000 meals daily to more than 100 airlines, faced the challenge of further enhancing its health and safety culture for its 11,000+ employees. To achieve this, EKFC partnered with LRQA to pursue certification to the new ISO 45001 international occupational health and safety management system standard.

LRQA conducted a rigorous five-day audit that verified EKFC's successful implementation of new safety initiatives. The solution fostered an inclusive culture where employees at all levels took responsibility for safety, leading to the company becoming the world’s first airline catering provider certified to ISO 45001. The result was a significantly more engaged workforce and a best-in-class safety performance that operates effectively 24/7.
