The IMS certification integrates three essential management systems: Quality Management (ISO 9001:2015), Environmental Management (ISO 14001:2015), and Occupational Health and Safety Management (ISO 45001:2018). It also aligns with global concerns regarding climate change and sustainability, ensuring stakeholder safety through regulatory compliance and hazard prevention. This certification encompasses a wide range, including 83 sites across eight countries where Davis & Shirtliff operates.

Davis & Shirtliff joins other esteemed organizations in Kenya that have received IMS certification, including Coca-Cola Beverages Africa (CCBA) Kenya, EABL, Safaricom, Bidco Africa, and Isuzu East Africa.
