SACERTI

What SACERTI does

SACERTI Consultores is a privately-held Portuguese consulting firm founded in 2022, headquartered in Porto with regional offices in Lisboa and Vila Real. The firm specializes in Quality, Environment, and Safety (QES) consulting services, supporting organizations across Portugal in achieving and maintaining regulatory compliance and management system certifications. Its service portfolio spans quality management (ISO 9001), environmental management (ISO 14001), occupational health and safety (ISO 45001/OSHAS), food safety (HACCP, BRC, IFS, ISO 22000), fire safety (SCIE projects, self-protection measures, fire drills under Decreto-Lei 220/2008), industrial and environmental licensing under the SIR and PCIP regimes, forest certification (FSC/PEFC), vocational education quality assurance (EQAVET), and ethical trade audits (SMETA), plus carbon footprint assessments. The firm holds statutory authorizations required to deliver regulated services: ACT Authorization n.º 050 12 1 07 12 for external occupational safety services in commerce, services, and industrial sectors including high-risk activities under Lei 102/2009, and ANPC Registration n.º 385 for commercialization of fire safety products and equipment under Portaria 773/2009.

The business is delivered entirely through human-led professional services engagements, with no proprietary software platform, API, or AI/ML components. SACERTI differentiates on the basis of regulatory credentials (ACT and ANPC authorizations), accredited technical staff, and personalized long-term client engagement rather than technology. Service delivery is quote-based and tailored to each client; pricing is not publicly disclosed. The go-to-market motion is sales-led and direct, leveraging the three regional offices, a Portuguese-language website (sacerti.pt) with content marketing assets, and a client login portal for ongoing customer engagement. Customer segments are diverse and span industrial and commercial workplaces, food production and distribution firms, forestry and wood product manufacturers, vocational education institutions, and manufacturing facilities — essentially any Portuguese organization with regulatory compliance or certification obligations.

SACERTI employs 5 people and operates as an independent, privately-held firm with no disclosed institutional investors, parent company, subsidiaries, or M&A activity. Revenue figures are not publicly disclosed, and there are no funding rounds or capital raises in the record. Operating geographies are described as the Iberian Peninsula, though physical offices exist only in Portugal. The company's expansion profile within Portugal includes the addition of Lisboa and Vila Real offices alongside Porto, and a steadily broadening service catalog across adjacent regulatory domains.

Its portfolio spans management system certification (ISO 9001, ISO 14001, ISO 45001/OSHAS, EQAVET, FSC, PEFC, SMETA), external occupational safety services with ACT authorization for high-risk activities, fire safety engineering (SCIE projects, self-protection measures, fire drills, emergency plans), food safety (HACCP, BRC, IFS, ISO 22000), and industrial and environmental licensing under Portugal's SIR/PCIP regimes. Services are delivered as bespoke consulting engagements, supplemented by physical products such as photoluminescent signage and emergency plan materials.

Product overview

SACERTI is a consulting firm providing specialized services in Quality, Environment, and Safety rather than a unified software product. The portfolio consists of distinct consulting service lines: Certification services (Quality ISO 9001, Environment ISO 14001, Safety ISO 45001/OSHAS, EQAVET, FSC, SMETA); Occupational Safety services (external safety services with ACT authorization for high-risk activities); Fire Safety services (SCIE projects, self-protection measures, emergency plans, fire drills); Food Safety services (HACCP, BRC, ISO 22000, IFS certifications); Environmental Management services (ISO 14001 systems, environmental licensing PCIP); and Industrial/Environmental Licensing services. Additionally, they supply complementary products such as photoluminescent emergency signage and emergency plan materials. These services are delivered through consultancy engagements rather than a software platform architecture.
