Ristco is proud to be associated with PECB and the business partnership agreement fits its Vision to be a trusted partner contributing to client success in a changing world. 

 

Company boarders are increasingly vague due to linkages to stakeholders providing supportive services and products as applicable. Companies are increasingly active on an international level in an environment with an increasing rate of change. This require continuous improvement and an agile environment supporting disruptive change. A high level of skills and an understanding of the international standards will better enable businesses to do so in a sustainable manner. Training should therefore be very high on the agenda today to enable a mutual level of trust between stakeholders. This business partnership with PECB will assist to elevate the level of best practice application to the advantage of the organization, as well as its stakeholders in support of their objectives. It further complements the Ristco contribution as part of the international standards revision processes.
