Components of the customer service system
The service system incorporates all the resources and employees from the various units who have a mission to meet, contact, or relate to customers:
- Network of stations and shops (attendance in person);
- Contact Centre (non-face-to-face service);
- Digital channels (specific web portals and websites that provide information and services over the internet);
- Gas emergency centres (non-face-to-face and face-to-face, by patrols, when applicable).
Our employees who perform the service are the primary component of the whole system, since they deal daily with multiple situations with different degrees of complexity, which requires good preparation and appropriate training.

Product quality
Product quality assurance is key for oil companies in meeting the expectations and requirements of their clients.
The existence of strict internal specifications subject to a careful control process ensures that, throughout the logistic chain, product characteristics are kept within the limits applicable in each geographical area.
Our commitment to market products that meet or exceed applicable legal or contractual requirements, and to ensure efficient use of resources by investing in innovative technologies and in the best available operating techniques, poses challenges with regard to efficiency and effectiveness.
These can only be met by sharing knowledge in scientific, technical, economic and legislative areas, which have an impact on product quality. We maintain therefore, a set of important links with several organizations that lead in the development of product quality and we position ourselves as a company of excellence in the markets where we operate. In this way, it is possible to anticipate risks arising from changes in specifications and to ensure the effectiveness of our product quality assurance process.
We also monitor the regulatory review of product quality and numerous studies that are currently taking place on this subject as a result of technical and economic issues.
