Five companies get DTI silver seal certifications
FIVE establishments in Pangasinan have been given silver seal certifications this year by the Department of Trade and Industry.
The certification serves as recognition to establishments that uphold the consumer rights and those practicing responsible business operations, said Marjury Lorezco, chief of the Trade and Industry Division Specialist of DTI Pangasinan.
The program, which was started last year, is aimed at encouraging businesses to look after the rights of the buying public.
In an interview with The PUNCH, Lorezco said those issued the certification are Robinson’s Supermarket (Dagupan City), Addessa Corporation (Urdaneta City), Ford Dagupan (Dagupan City), and Motorplaza Inc. (Calasiao and Urdaneta City).
Lorezco said that one of the criteria for the program is that the establishment should have its own Consumer Welfare Desk (CWD) and that its staff must have been trained on how to handle complaints.
The eligible establishments for the program are supermarkets, department stores, appliance centers, hardware stores, and service and repair shops.
She said that establishments can apply for coverage of the program.
Those awarded last year were GNS Tires and Service, City Light Cellphone Center, and Audio Electronics and General Merchandising.—CSR
