Quality Management ISO 2008:9001 Certification In 1997 we first introduced quality awareness by certifying our company according to ISO 9001 standard. Continuously stern demands of our customers urged conversion to a more severely customer-oriented standard which has been awarded in March 2009 by becoming certified according ISO 9001:2008 regulations and is subject to annual surveillance audits and tri-annually re-certification audits. We impose high standards on ourselves and demand the same high standards from our suppliers to guarantee the committed level of service: Indeed, it is not they, but we who vouch for the services provided with the company's excellent reputation. Error prevention has priority over error rectification. Hence, our organization uses clearly defined means for monitoring the implementation and maintenance of our quality system. All processes are thoroughly documented in procedures and duly communicated to all employees. Furthermore, our Quality Management System is subject to Top Management Review on a regular basis in order to ensure all targets are complied with in a professional environment. AEO Certification On July 15th 2008, we made an application with Customs to obtain the Certificate Authorized Economic Operator. On October 1st 2009, Tabaknatie was proud to announce the achievement of the AEO certificate as first forwarding and logistic company in Antwerp. AEO is a status that is granted to reliable traders that comply with certain criteria and offer a high degree of security in respect of their role in the supply chain. This status gives access to simplifications provided under the customs rules and facilitation with regard to custom control relating to security and safety. ESF Certification On August 25th 2009, we achieved to obtain the ESF Quality label.
