Real estate consulting company Cushman & Wakefield Echinox has advised the online retailer eMAG on the DEKRA Trusted Facility audit and certification process, which represents a confirmation that the safety measures against Covid-19 that the company has undertaken at its warehouses, showrooms and offices in Bucharest and Giurgiu county are implemented properly and in accordance with the international standards set by the World Health Organization (WHO). Approximately 4,000 employees work in the audited and certified eMAG spaces, and all eMAG spaces across the country will be certified in the following days.

The DEKRA Trusted Facility standard ensures that all measures for the prevention and management of Covid-19 cases – starting from reception / entrance into the building, to technical and maintenance services, cleaning and customer interaction – are implemented in accordance with the guidelines provided by WHO and by the local agencies regulating safety and health standards, as well as institutions responsible for public health policies.

“We went through this rigorous certification process because we wanted to offer our colleagues and clients the guarantee that the eMAG territory is a safe one, in which health and safety norms are respected. The certification involved fulfilling a set of over 120 criteria for all our spaces in Bucharest and at the warehouses in Giurgiu county. In the following days, the certification process will be completed for all our spaces throughout the country,” said Alexandru Niculescu, Vice President eMAG.

A Romanian company founded in 2001, eMAG is a pioneer of the Romanian e-commerce market and has become a regional leader after exporting the local model to Bulgaria and Hungary successfully.
