The company understands that the health of its customers employees as well as its own is an essential condition for the successful fulfilment of its professional activities, and for the success of their customers. Therefore Novagest has been taking action to implement HACCP systems in their operations.

In the food industry any factor that can jeopardise the safety of the food products has to be maintained under strict control, hence the importance of implementing a HACCP system. The introduction of this type of systems involves the change of testing only the final product to controlling critical aspects of the food production. Like this, the manufacturer of food products is provided with the opportunity to improve the process of production in a disciplined way, systematic and compatible with the international standards, so as to guarantee food safety.

To permanently maintain a high standard of hygiene and safety, the company relies on intensive and permanent professional training programs in this area, guided by supervisors with technical capacity and professional experience. We list some of the most important themes of these programs:

 Occupational health
 Good Practices of Professional and Food Hygiene
 Active safety
 Safe practices
 Control of temperatures
 Environmental respect

Recognizing the importance of external audits the company signed in 2005 a contract with the company SGS, with the aim of obtaining the quality seal for selected operations.

This is a dynamic and evolutionary process, whose future purpose is providing the necessary conditions that will lead to the future certification of the company.

Operations that currently have been awarded with the Seal of Controled Hygiene:
Kwanda Base staff canteen in Soyo  Sonair staff canteen in Luanda  Sonils staff canteen in Luanda Restaurant from Total at Luanda  Offshore accomodation Barge Kissama at Block 03-05
