In what is a first for Irish ports, Port of Waterford and Boskalis have partnered with Certa to undertake a maintenance dredging campaign using Hydrotreated Vegetable Oil (HVO). Utilising HVO instead of Marine Gas Oil will prevent 100 tonnes of carbon entering the atmosphere. Pictured are Captain Ian Moriarty, Deputy Harbour Master Port of Waterford, and Laura Byrne, our Head of Sustainable Fuels, as the first of four road tankers transferred HVO to the Boskalis dredger “Causeway”.

Happy International Men’s Day! At Certa, people are at the heart of everything we, and today is about prioritising the health of the men in our lives, ensuring that they are aware of the support around them and the information they need to thrive. To mark the occasion, colleagues were invited to wear their favourite blue attire to help spark conversations around well-being. Additionally, many took the opportunity to attend a seminar on the important topic of Loneliness & Social Isolation, exploring how these challenges impact men’s health and what we can do to support each other. #MentalHealth #IMD #InternationalMensDay #Certa #Ireland

This November, colleagues throughout the business are participating in our Movember campaign. It's not just for our male colleagues – we encourage everyone to get involved. Our goal is to raise awareness around key issues affecting men's health, including physical health and mental health challenges like loneliness and isolation, which affects us all in different ways. Colleagues are getting involved by growing a moustache, taking on physical challenges, or hosting a MoMent to help raise awareness and spark important conversations. #Movember #MentalHealth #MensHealth

We strive to be a guaranteed source of warmth, reliability, excitement and evolution through our personal interactions, convenience, and of course the products we offer to our customers. Aodhán embodies all of these traits, and has instantly become a colleague that we cherish. We’re glad to see he’s resonating with you too. #Mascot #Warmth #Aodhán #Certa #Ireland

Recently, several line managers participated in Performance Management training led by Catherine Curran from Level4 in preparation for mid-year reviews. The primary goal of this training was to strengthen their abilities in establishing clear, measurable objectives, delivering constructive feedback, and conducting evaluations.

At Certa, we are dedicated to helping our colleagues develop their skills and talents. This summer, our Depot Supervisors and Assistant Supervisors participated in a variety of training sessions, covering topics such as Customer Service, HR Essentials, Energy Transition, and more. To celebrate the conclusion of this year’s training, the team gathered for a bonding day in Kilkenny. They enjoyed an afternoon of bowling and arcade games, followed by a team dinner. With our 18 depots located across the country, this was a wonderful opportunity for colleagues to connect with one another. #Development #OneTeam #CustomerService #Certa #Ireland
