Success stories are about people. And it is the employees of IJM who have demonstrated that "Excellence Through Quality" is more than just a motto, it is the Group's philosophy. 

This philosophy reaffirms IJM's commitment to quality products and services. At IJM it is the employees, as much as the products they create and sell, that make the difference. They provide the ultimate long-term competitive advantage, as IJM considers all its employees as key people. An innovative, enlightened management style, together with a pro-active, hands-on management approach at all levels, allows the Group to continually maintain and enhance high standards in work performance. More important, IJM people strongly believe in the shared destiny of the company and its employees. 

Constant training, workshops and seminars keep this standard of excellence sharpened and honed. 

In 1996, IJM was awarded the internationally recognised ISO Quality Management Systems certification standard "for Provision of Construction Services in Building and Civil Engineering Works", testimony of living up to its motto "Excellence Through Quality". Since then, many of IJM's subsidiaries have been similarly certified. 

With the emphasis on safety in the construction sector, both locally and internationally, IJM enrolled in the OHSAS 18001 (Occupational Health and Safety Management System) Pilot Program conducted by SIRIM QAS Sdn Bhd in 1999. Through the commitment and untiring efforts of the management and staff, IJM became the first construction company in Malaysia to be awarded the OHSAS 18001 certification in 2000, true to its Safety Motto of "Health, Safety and Environment Is Everyone's Responsibility".

Besides achieving the OHSAS 18001 Certification, IJM has gone a step further by developing the IJM Quality and Safety Assessment System or IQSAS. IQSAS is self-regulatory and ensures that higher standards of quality and safety are achieved through a culture of entrenched discipline in routine work methods and processes in all IJM's construction projects. 

With steadfast commitment in the implementation of international quality and safety standards, IJM has taken a step forward in stamping the "Mark of Excellence" on all its products and services.
