Dubai’s Roads and Transport Authority (RTA) has obtained BSI 13500 certification and ISO 37001 certification for delivering effective governance, from the German TUV organisation; a specialist in awarding international certification.

His Excellency Mattar Al Tayer, Director-General and Chairman of the Board of Executive Directors of RTA, was delighted with these two certificates as they bear reference to RTA’s renowned position in corporate governance. “They illustrate the prevalence of integrity and transparency in our working environment and the compliance with the highest standards of accountability, accuracy and monitoring of workflow, projects and operational processes,” he said.

“RTA is committed to complying with core principles of corporate governance such as transparency, disclosure, fairness, accountability and integrity in various business practices. Yet, we need to muster more efforts to maintain RTA’s tradition of complying with the highest global practices of corporate governance through sticking with the right ingredients for moving forward,” added Al Tayer.

Al Tayer made these comments when accepting the two certificates presented by Abdullah Al Jawi, Director of Internal Audit, and RTA team.

“RTA has adopted a unique governance system that contributed to its pioneering standing in this field. Obtaining these two coveted certificates is attributed to the relentless efforts to apply with the top practices of corporate governance,” said Al Jawi.

“The awarding of these certificates reflects the existence of an effective corporate system that sets the base for making informed decisions. RTA is keen to promote corporate governance in all sectors and agencies and integrate it into policies, manuals and operations such that it becomes an integral part of all activities undertaken,” he concluded.
