A Leading Large Venture Partner 
Quality and Safety
To remain competitive, we continually evaluate how we operate.We are currently implementing a programme to ensure consistency in all aspects of our business processes, called the Group Five Way. This will ensure that we align behaviour and the way we work, which is crucial in building customer relationships and delivering on market expectations.
Group Five KwaZulu-Natal is committed to quality assurance and maintains DEKRA ISO certifications for 9001 (quality) and ISO 18001 (safety). The business is currently working towards an ISO 14001 (environmental) certification. In its support of 'greening' South Africa, Group Five has become a Gold Founding Member of the newly formed Green Building Council of South Africa, a non-profit organisation that encourages South Africans to design energy efficient buildings and has provided a benchmark rating tool to measure the sustainability or 'greenness' of a building.
