Quality Management
The CAM-CCBC was a pioneer in obtaining the certification of its Quality Management System based on ISO 9001 standard in 2004. The international seal attested the quality of the Center procedures in the arbitrations of administration. Since then, the CAM-CCBC has been in line with the requirements of this standard, through annual audits conducted by SGS, an independent certifying agency.
After the audit in 2022, the CAM-CCBC has obtained the certification related to administration of conflict resolution methods i.e. arbitrarion, mediation and dispute boards, valid until January 4, 2026. With this approval, the Center renews its pioneering and commitment with its Quality Management System.
CAM-CCBC Quality Policy
Making available, regardless of origin, nationality or affiliation to the Chamber of Commerce Brazil-Canada, the administration of appropriate methods of conflict resolution provided according to own regulations and applicable laws.
The pillars of the CAM-CCBC are: impartiality, independence, efficiency, transparency and continuous improvement of the Management System.
The survey is conducted annually to assess the users’ satisfaction concerning the administration services of the appropriate methods of dispute resolution provided by the Center.

In 2020, the CAM-CCBC organized itself internally to ensure the continuity of more than 300 ongoing procedures, and determined emergency measures that ensured the remote and safe conduct of the proceedings under its management. We put into practice a project already in progress: migration to 100% electronic conduction of procedures.
