Comprehensive Quality and Sustainability

Our Integrated Management System.

At Vidara we have an Integrated Management System (IMS) that lets us deliver on our commitments efficiently and across the board in accordance with the internal policies related to:

Food culture

Vidara, from the management and with the participation of all its workers, is fully committed to complying with the requirements of the FOOD SAFETY CULTURE in all the processes of the organisation in the hygiene of food products, the management of food allergens and the redistribution of food.

This compromise is based on the company's commitment to produce safe food by following good food safety practices by all its employees and always maintaining clear and open communication.

Food quality and safety

As evidence of our commitment to the quality of our goods and services, we have the ISO 9001:2015 certification based on an integrated management system that serves as a reference to leverage all company processes.

In addition to strict compliance with the applicable regulatory standards for food and animal nutrition, we have dedicated FAMI-QS, HACCP, Halal, Kosher, Organic product and RSPO certifications for the different business lines.

Pharmaceutics

One of our core activities is the import, marketing, storage and distribution of different types of chemical and pharmaceutical products. As a result, the integrated management system complies with Good Distribution Practice (GDP) Guidelines to guarantee the quality of the actives, excipients and medicines for human and veterinary use we distribute and market.

Safety and hygiene in the workplace

The company has the ISO 45001:2018 Health and Safety Management System certification as evidence of its commitment to the occupational health and safety of its workers and others who may be affected by its activities.

The objective of this part of the system is to provide safe and healthy workplaces, prevent on-the-job injuries and health impairment and ensure the continuous improvement of OHS performance across our company.

Our commitment to sustainability

At Vidara we understand sustainability as an intrinsic part of our activity and aim to responsibly manage the economic, social and environmental dimensions of sustainable development to generate value for society and for the business. Sustainability has always been a large part of what we do and who we are.

Our goal is to contribute to a responsible and inclusive business with the needs of the environment, consistent with our values of a human approach, professionalism, initiative and propriety and based on our four principles of sustainability:
