The Venetian Macao Once Again Earns ISO Certification for Food Safety
Company’s sixth ISO certification
(Macao,
July
15, 2020) –
The Venetian®
Macao’s food and beverage department has
received ISO 22000:2018 certification for
its food safety management system, becoming
the only integrated resort or hotel in Macao
to have received it. It is the sixth ISO
certification received by Sands China to
date.
Awarded to The
Venetian Macao for the safety of its
operation to provide chilled food to Sands
China’s food and beverage outlets, ISO
22000:2018 is the most recent iteration of
the ISO 22000 certification – with The
Venetian Macao having already earned the
previous version, ISO 22000:2005.
The Venetian Macao’s
commitment to ever higher standards of
excellence helped it earn the updated
certification, which places a stronger
emphasis on the responsibility of leadership
from top management – such as in ensuring
the consultation and participation of team
members in the development, planning,
implementation and continual improvement of
the system. Changes to the latest 2018
standard also include the application of a
risk-based approach to the development of
the food safety management
system.
ISO 22000 is used by
organisations around the world to manage
food safety, providing a consistent and
objective standard of quality and safety for
organisations and
consumers.
The “Sands China is
very pleased to have received this latest
ISO certification,” said Tom Connolly,
senior vice president of food and beverage
operations for Sands China Ltd. “Food safety
is of upmost importance for our operational
team, and we have stringent standards in
place to ensure our success in that critical
area. The company’s thanks goes to our food
and beverage team members for their
diligence in maintaining the highest
standards, which has led to this
certification.”
ISO certifications
are awarded by the London-based British
Standards Institution (BSI) Group, the
world’s largest national standards and
certification body, which audits and
provides certification to companies
worldwide who implement and comply with its
management systems
standards.
