In 2024, Havan won important awards recognizing the company’s excellence as an employer brand and in delivering unique customer experiences. These highlights result from a 38-year journey based on a culture that places the customer at the center of decisions.
Havan’s owner, Luciano Hang, celebrates the recognitions received by the company. “These awards are the merit of our customers, who honor us daily, but also of our employees who provide excellent service and our suppliers, who are great partners,” he says.
He emphasizes that in 2024, the retailer was guided to think like a customer but also take care of its own. “We understand that to achieve our goal, we need to first look inward, provide an increasingly quality work environment with opportunities, and offer unique benefits to employees,” he reveals.
Thus, Havan has increasingly become a reference as an employer brand and as one of the best retail companies to work for in Brazil.
The awards received in 2024 reinforce this vision:
