Certifications
At Habic, associated companies are committed to sustainability and continuous improvement. That’s why they focus on obtaining management and product system certifications. These certifications are, to this day, a fundamental aspect that provides numerous advantages and differential value to companies. They serve as an incentive to carry out improvement processes, both in their products and in their services and management.
The accreditation of these certifications is undoubtedly a differential value in the market as, on one hand, it improves the company’s image and, on the other, it generates trust among clients, consumers, shareholders, and competent authorities.
