We are proud to announce that CRISMACHEM has obtained ISO 27001 certification, representing a strategic step forward in consolidating the company’s management model. Obtaining this international standard certifies that we have implemented a robust Information Security Management System (ISMS) based on the identification, assessment and systematic treatment of information-related risks.

This achievement is the result of cross-functional work involving all areas of the organisation, integrating processes, people and technology under a common approach: to protect the confidentiality, integrity and availability of information. Information security is not limited to IT systems, but also covers operational procedures, document management, access control, business continuity, supplier management and organisational culture.

With the implementation of ISO 27001, Crismachem strengthens its ability to:

• Proactively identify and mitigate risks.
• Prevent security incidents and reduce their potential impact.
• Ensure the traceability and control of sensitive information.
• Ensure regulatory compliance in terms of data protection and security.
• Integrate security management into the company’s overall strategy.

This certification adds to the systems already implemented at Crismachem (ISO 9001 and ISO 56001), consolidating a coherent, aligned management system geared towards continuous improvement. The integration of these standards allows us to work with a structured vision that combines quality, innovation and security as the fundamental pillars of our value proposition.

From a supply chain perspective, ISO 27001 brings clear and tangible benefits. In an increasingly digitalised industrial and chemical environment, where collaboration with customers, technology partners, research centres and suppliers is constant, the protection of technical information, test data, specifications and contractual documentation is critical.

Having a certified system:

• Increases the confidence of customers and strategic partners.
• Reduces exposure to shared risks within the value chain.
• Strengthens operational resilience in the face of potential incidents or cyber threats.
• Improves coordination with suppliers through common security criteria.
• Facilitates participation in international and collaborative projects that require high standards of compliance.

For Crismachem, ISO 27001 is not just a formal accreditation, but a way of working based on structured risk management, corporate responsibility and continuous improvement. It is a commitment to reliability, transparency and operational excellence that we offer to all players in our value chain.

We continue to move forward, strengthening our systems and consolidating a management model that integrates quality, innovation and security as drivers of sustainable growth.

At CRISMACHEM and as part of our commitment to offering a value proposition to our collaborators, we have worked to establish a comprehensive compensation and benefits plan. Our employees can now enjoy private health insurance, a flexible compensation programme and access to the WellHub wellness platform, thanks to our collaboration with Cobee by Pluxee, a leader in flexible and digital compensation solutions.

Thus, 100% of the workforce ensure the efficient management of their benefits such as food, transport, childcare, health insurance and access to Wellhub, which offers programmes in physical activity, nutrition, mindfulness and psychological counselling.

This flexible compensation and benefits plan is the result of listening to the priorities of our team and the constant search for innovation in people management and the development of corporate culture. We are sure that with this initiative we will achieve a more productive, collaborative environment focused on the well-being of those who make our success possible.

CRISMACHEM has become one of the first companies in the chemical distribution sector to achieve Great Place to Work™ certification. This recognition reflects our ongoing commitment to creating a positive and nurturing work environment for all our employees because at CRISMACHEM, we firmly believe that our success is based on the well-being and satisfaction of our team.

The idea of Great Place to Work™ was born in the mid-1980s to identify the top organisations that create excellent work environments. The starting shot for the creation of this label was, in fact, a report by Robert Levering, a journalist who covered work-related issues and, in particular, workplace conflict.

Today, Great Place to Work™ is dedicated to supporting organisations to achieve better results through a culture of trust, high performance and innovation. The GPTW seal attracts the best talent in the market, reduces turnover rates, differentiates the certified company from its competitors, and also encourages practices that help employees connect with the company’s culture and bring more value to the organisation. Thus, this certification serves as a pull factor for professionals. It is not just about status, but about ensuring a good organisational culture and a healthy working environment for professionals to develop their skills and be valued.

At CRISMACHEM we would like to thank each member of our team for their dedication, effort and enthusiasm. This achievement is the result of working together and the collaborative culture we have built together.

We remain committed to continuous improvement and to providing a work environment that promotes the professional and personal growth of all our employees.

Thank you all for making CRISMACHEM a Great Place to Work™!

We are proud to announce that CRISMACHEM has become the first Carbon Negative company in its sector.

With the distribution channel being one of the least proactive in terms of CO2 calculation, reduction and offsetting, we at CRISMACHEM have invested twice our emissions in environmental projects supported by the United Nations.

Thanks to a solid financial basis and thorough data analysis, we have offset 28 tonnes of CO2, the equivalent of 157 avoided air travels.

We have also initiated an emissions reduction process in which we aim to involve all stakeholders in the supply chain.

Sustainability is in CRISMACHEM’s DNA!

CRISMACHEM has closed the 2023 accounting year with an increase in turnover of 52% over the previous year; figures that demonstrate the robustness of the company’s business model.

This year has been an exciting and challenging journey for CRISMACHEM, in which we have undertaken the challenge of the internationalisation of the company, becoming an ICEX Next company, increasing exports and finalising the opening of two delegations. We have attended relevant trade fairs such as Big 5 in Dubai or China Coat in Shanghai, which has also allowed us to share knowledge, explore new trends and business opportunities and establish valuable connections with other key players in the industry, in events that provide the perfect setting to refine the business vision in terms of raw materials and customers.

The company has also embarked on the path towards offsetting its CO2 emissions, while at the same time we have presented a roadmap for the gradual reduction of these emissions.

Doing the right thing because it is the right thing to do, for a sustainable economy that combines long-term profitability with social justice and care for the environment. This is our commitment as a company.

We look forward to the year 2024, which will bring us new challenges in this exciting adventure!

CRISMACHEM has achieved excellent results during the year 2022, surpassing the best expectations. With a revenue that is 30% higher than in 2021, the company has demonstrated its ability to adapt to a changing economic environment and remain profitable.

One of the main factors that have contributed to the company’s good results has been its focus on technical support for customers, highly valued by them. Additionally, CRISMACHEM has significantly improved its supply chain and strengthened its relationships with key suppliers, while establishing new business agreements. The company has adopted a more strategic approach to its purchasing management, which has allowed it to reduce costs and improve the efficiency of its operations.

We approach 2023 with enthusiasm and the challenge of identifying growth opportunities in other markets and sectors, which will promote the diversification of our income while reducing exposure to regional risks.

It is a pleasure to announce that CRISMACHEM, the specialist in the distribution of raw materials and chemical products for construction and CASE applications, has closed the accounting year 2021 by doubling its turnover compared to the previous year, despite the persistence of the Covid-19 pandemic and the difficulties caused by the shortage of supplies, aggravated by the crisis in land and sea transport.

Beyond this data, CRISMACHEM has managed to significantly increase activity levels in many areas of the company, which has strengthened the company and makes it more stable in the face of variations in the economic cycle.

Proof of this is the achievement of new distribution contracts with leading manufacturers, the increase in the number of active customers and the level of employment, the advances made in corporate governance, the improvements made in the performance of processes, our joining to “Responsible Care” program at the beginning of last year or the publication of our first Communication on Progress  (COP) Report through the United Nations Spain Global Compact initiative, which shows our commitment to the SDGs and the 2030 Agenda and represents our roadmap for sustainable growth.

This commitment of which I speak, is built from our employees, and for this reason, within our objectives of promoting health and well-being, CRISMACHEM has also been certified as a “Brain Protected Space” by the Freno al Ictus Foundation.

Thus, the sixth wave of Covid-19 registered in Spain and Portugal has not been able to with the positive evolution that CRISMACHEM has had in the industry throughout the year, in an increasingly dynamic market and despite the bottlenecks experienced in the supply chain.

We trust that, despite the uncertainty that surrounds us, this new year will bring great opportunities that we must take advantage of, together with our employees, clients, suppliers, principals and collaborators, to whom we undoubtedly owe the success of our organization and to whom we thank them, through these words, for their commitment to the company. Thank you for being part of the CRISMACHEM family.
