ISO 22301 outlines a framework for planning, implementing, and improving a business continuity management system (BCMS), ensuring processes are robust enough to withstand crises such as natural disasters, political instability, cyberattacks, and pandemics.
Markus Simons, Managing Director of Rhenus Warehousing Solutions Netherlands, emphasized the importance of the certification:
“ISO 22301 certification marks a significant milestone in our journey toward operational excellence. It highlights our proactive approach to identify and mitigate risks, enabling us to sustain essential operations even in challenging times. This certification not only strengthens our operational resilience but also reinforces customer confidence in our ability to provide reliable logistics solutions. In today’s fast-paced and unpredictable environment, our focus on business continuity is more relevant than ever.”
The certification process involved a rigorous assessment of Rhenus' continuity strategies, aligning them with international best practices and regulatory standards.
“As a leader in the logistics industry, Rhenus understands that the ability to maintain business operations during times of disruption is a key differentiator,” added Simons. “With our newly certified BCMS, we offer our customers the confidence that their supply chains will remain operational by unexpected challenges. Our position as a trusted partner in the logistics sector is reinforced by this commitment to operational continuity, ensuring that our customers can rely on us for timeliness, reliability, and unparalleled service.”
Looking ahead, Rhenus remains focused on enhancing resilience, refining internal processes, and maintaining clear communication with stakeholders—ensuring secure, uninterrupted logistics solutions in an ever-changing environment.
