Healthy Organization Certification

The Healthy Company certification promotes the comprehensive well-being of employees through health, safety and healthy habit policies, improving the quality of work life

Keys to AENOR's new SIGOS scheme

The Luxembourg Declaration and the publication by the World Health Organization of the document "Healthy Work Environments: WHO Foundations and Model" in 2010, were the precedents for initiating a path towards excellence in health, safety and well-being at work through continuous improvement in the management of the four avenues of influence for a healthy work environment established by the WHO; that is, physical work environment, psychosocial work environment, personal resources at work and participation of the company in the community.

Within this framework, AENOR published the first Healthy Business Management System in 2012 and there are already more than 1,000 centres in Spain and various countries that have opted for this certification.

However, AENOR's new HEALTHY ORGANISATION MANAGEMENT SYSTEM ( SIGOS) has recently been published, a tool that replaces the previous HEALTHY COMPANY MODEL (SIGES) and will help companies to organise and value all those initiatives they are carrying out in relation to occupational safety, health promotion, sustainability and responsible commitment to the community where they are located, demonstrating their commitment to continuous improvement.

For all these reasons, AENOR has carried out a process of transformation of the Healthy Company Model to adapt it to this cultural trend. In this new model, organizations will find an easier tool for its application and integration, and highly effective in the management of safe, healthy, sustainable and committed companies, regardless of their size, sector and geographical location.

Thus, the culture of a safe, healthy and sustainable organization must evolve towards:

  • The achievement of healthier, more motivated and satisfied workers, their families, customers, users, people and other stakeholders who feel proud of belonging to or having a relationship with that organization.

  • An improvement in all environments under the organization's capacity to influence, which makes it attractive to other professionals and that, in addition, retains talent.

  • An increase in customers, users and other stakeholders in the use of the responsible products or services that the organization offers.

  • An improvement of the corporate image through the projection of a safe, healthy and responsible organization in which the workers themselves, customers, suppliers and other interested parties can participate until it becomes a benchmark in its sector and within society.
