Competitiveness and employment are two words that mark the future of a country. Being competitive implies innovation, development, investment, spending control, effective management, results and wealth creation…

It also implies having a flexible management model and a spatial and temporal organization that allows employees to be innovative, effective, creative and productive.

Sustainable Mobility

Certest offers a large number of charging stations for electric vehicles, available for visitors and employees.

Certest, as part of its social and environmental responsibility policy, has a large number of charging stations at its facilities for the use of visitors and employees, thus showing its firm commitment to a greener future, while contributing to promoting adoption of electric mobility.

Electric chargers are an essential component in sustainable and ecological mobility. With a fleet of cars clearly shifting towards electrification, it is important to consider the importance of electric chargers in the workplace.
