VALBIOTIS has been awarded full ISO 9001:2015 certification by AFNOR, with six strong points, for its activities in "Design, development and production control of solutions for preventing and combating metabolic and cardiovascular diseases". Certification is awarded for a period of three years, with annual re-evaluation.

The ISO 9001:2015 "Quality Management System" standard is internationally recognized and defines organizational requirements aimed at improving quality, performance and customer satisfaction. This certification process guarantees and demonstrates to all partners the control of all Discovery, Preclinical research, Clinical research and production activities, as well as product quality management.

Sébastien PELTIER, CEO, Chairman of the Executive Board at VALBIOTIS

"The organization of our quality management system since 2018 and the mobilization of all VALBIOTIS employees have been key in helping us achieve this objective. All the activities at our three sites (R&D Center in Riom, R&D Center in La Rochelle, Head Office in Périgny) have been awarded full ISO 9001 certification. This is a guarantee for all our current and future partners. It is particularly important given that our business model involves licensing our active substances to healthcare players and signing exclusive supply contracts."

"In a context in which national and international regulatory and administrative requirements are increasingly rigorous and constantly evolving, and in which players are more and more demanding, it was essential to invest in this process. The strengths identified by AFNOR during the audit include the performance of our infrastructures, our ability to analyze and take into account the expectations of our stakeholders, as well as to effectively manage our risks and changes. The audit also highlighted our ability to control the quality of our R&D activities and the traceability and quality of our products, as well as to train and involve our staff in a continuous improvement process."
