Certified responsibility: a strategic balance of quality, ethics and sustainability

2025 was a year of consolidation and progress. At Groupe GM Cosmética Portugal, we reinforced our commitment to operational excellence, transparency and environmental integrity – not through statements, but through recognized international standards that guide how we work, improve, and deliver value.

Systems that support excellence

Certifications provide the structure that allows us to deliver consistency, safety and high performance at scale. They are not endpoints, but dynamic frameworks for continuous improvement.

• ISO 9001: strengthened our quality management system, ensuring that every formula, every process and every product meets rigorous performance and consistency standards.
• ISO 14001: embedded environmental management into our day-to-day operations, resulting in more efficient resource use, lower emissions and reduced waste.
• ISO 22716: reinforced our adherence to Good Manufacturing Practices, securing full product traceability, regulatory alignment and safety across the production lifecycle.

Credibility across specialized segments

In a market where certification is becoming a differentiator, we continue to invest in categories where transparency and traceability are decisive.

• COSMOS: revalidated the integrity of our natural and organic developments, ensuring that brands can meet consumer expectations for ethical and clean beauty.
• Veterinary Use Products: kept our certified veterinary-grade production capabilities, affirming our leadership in sustainable grooming for the pet care market – a sector where compliance is critical

Responsibility beyond production

Operational excellence must be matched by business ethics. That is why we subject ourselves to independent audits that assess not only what we produce, but how we behave.

• Ecovadis | Silver rating: recognized progress across four key areas: environment, labour practices, business ethics and sustainable procurement.
• SMETA: confirmed alignment with one of the world’s most demanding audit frameworks, evaluating our performance in human rights, health and safety, environmental responsibility and ethical conduct.

What’s next?

In 2026, our ambition is to go further: scaling products and processes, deepening transparency across our value chain, empowering our team through knowledge and support, and advancing supplier engagement with the same level of rigor we apply internally.

Because in the future of beauty, performance is not enough – it must be responsible, measurable and shared.
