Advantis 3PL Plus: first SL logistics company to obtain UKAS accredited ISO 22000:2018 certification

Advantis 3PL Plus, a member of the Hayleys Advantis Group, set yet another benchmark in the logistics sector by becoming the only Sri Lankan company to obtain the UKAS accredited ISO 22000:2018 certification in food safety management in the ‘storage, distribution and value-added services’ sector certified by SGS Lanka (Pvt) Ltd.

Commenting on this new certification, the Managing Director of Hayleys Advantis Limited, Ruwan Waidyaratne said “We are proud to be the first logistics service provider in Sri Lanka to obtain a UKAS accredited ISO 22000:2018 certification. This milestone in our history is a clear indication of how we strive for continuous improvements by adopting new standards and refining current best practices to meet and surpass the requirements of global multi-national corporations.”

The UKAS (United Kingdom Accreditation Services) accredited ISO 22000:2018 certification maps out the requirements of an organisation to demonstrate its ability to control food safety hazards to ensure the safety of food throughout the handling process.

“The new certification will assist the company in staying ahead of its competitors while adding value to customers by offering assurance on food safety and quality of products handled. As food safety management standards help organisations identify and control food safety hazards, it provides a layer of reassurance within the global supply chain, helping products cross borders and bring people food they can trust,” said Sheran Abeyesundere, Director/CEO of Advantis 3PL Plus.
