Riyadh, (18 Feb 2021): Red Sea Global (RSG), the developer behind the world’s most ambitious regenerative tourism project, has been awarded ISO31000:2018 certification, the International Organization for Standardization’s highest available standard in risk management.

Beyond the prestige of achieving this, it confirms to our investors and partners that they can have full confidence in our company and in the exciting project we’re building along the Red Sea coast," said John Pagano, CEO of Red Sea Global. 

Red Sea Global’s approach to risk identification, analysis, evaluation and treatment was praised within BSI’s assessment. It also highlighted strong involvement from the top in managing risk and compliance at Red Sea Global.

Theuns Kotzé, Managing Director BSI IMETA, said: “BSI has played a leading role in developing a new generation of standards to help organizations become more agile, sustainable and resilient. The adoption and compliance against ISO 31001 standard, demonstrate Red Sea Global’s ongoing commitment in managing risk across the organization. During our audit, we found that Red Sea Global was well prepared with robust and agile plans.

On behalf of BSI, I would like to congratulate the entire Red Sea Global team for this fantastic achievement.”
