A step closer to sustainable and safe excellence

We are proud to announce that three new terminals in our network have recently obtained their ISO 14001 (Environment) and ISO 45001 (Occupational Health and Safety) certifications.

Among them, our Chicago terminal becomes the first QSL site to be certified in the United States, marking a significant milestone in our process. The Grande-Anse and Bécancour terminals also join the circle of certified sites, bringing the total number of our sites complying with these demanding standards to eight.

Chicago: QSL’s first certification in the United States

The ISO 14001 and ISO 45001 certifications for our Chicago terminal represent much more than mere recognition. It is a milestone that reflects our drive to take our vision of sustainable development and health and safety beyond Canadian borders, and our ambition to become a North American leader.

Grande-Anse and Bécancour: Two new sites of excellence

The Grande-Anse and Bécancour terminals also add an important dimension to our certification process. With their integration, QSL strengthens its offer of certified sites along the strategic St. Lawrence Seaway corridor. This means we can guarantee our customers more reliable, environmentally friendly logistics solutions, while contributing to the sustainable economic development of the regions we serve.

An ongoing certification process

With eight sites now certified, our ambition doesn’t stop there. Our goal is to certify all our terminals, integrating best practices in environmental management and workplace safety. This ongoing process is designed to bring our entire network up to the highest industry standards.

A collective achievement: Congratulations to our teams

These successes are the result of the hard work of our teams, who have succeeded in implementing a high-performance, innovative management system. The Chicago terminal, the first certified site in the United States, demonstrates that we have the skills and energy to rise to the challenge, and that our approach extends beyond borders to align with a global vision.

Towards a responsible and safe future

By ensuring the environmental compliance and safety of our sites, we offer our clients a greener, more resilient supply chain, while meeting the highest industry standards. Each new certified site brings us closer to our goal: to become the North American benchmark in our industry.

Through our efforts to have all our sites certified, as well as our commitment to Green Marine and the United Nations Global Compact, we are reasserting our determination to managing our operations responsibly, while providing a healthy and safe working environment for our employees.

Thank you to all our teams for their exceptional commitment and to our partners for their support. Together, we continue to build a network that embodies the values of excellence, safety, and sustainability.
