BUSINESS EXCELLENCE
Quality Management
In 2003, Lopez Holdings was certified against the standards of the International Organization for Standardization or ISO 9001:2000 for the provision of management services in Finance and Accounting, Public Relations, and Human Resources as a holding company. In 2006, Lopez Holdings was re-certified for the provision of the same management services, and added Legal Services to the audited processes in its quality management system (QMS). In 2009, 2012 and 2015, Lopez Holdings was certified compliant with the updated ISO 9001:2008 standard.
In 2018 and 2021, it was certified to the ISO 9001:2015 standard. This latest version emphasizes risk-based thinking to enhance the application of the process approach, increases leadership requirements, and improves applicability of the standard for services.
Lopez Holdings was the first holding company in the Philippines to be certified against the Investors in People (IiP) standard in 2009. The IiP framework from the U.K. helps corporations improve business results through best practices in people management. Lopez Holdings was re-certified to IiP in 2013 and 2016, with the latest assessment using the 6th generation IiP Standard.
As part of continuing compliance with its ISO-certified quality management system, the company had the following Quality Policy in 2021:
Lopez Holdings exists to lead in quality management practices and adheres to good corporate governance in the conduct of all business.
We shall innovate and continually pursue improvements in all our services and processes to achieve business excellence.
