This recognition strengthens the quality processes of the Institution and guides the action for the certification of the entire quality management system in the Medellín, Cali, Neiva and Popayán offices; which is considered as a strategic goal of the Institutional Development Plan. During the years that comprise the certification, the institutional directives will advance in the consolidation of the culture of the processes and the continuous improvement, with a view to providing, increasingly, an excellent service to the users.
