Our Processes

Every company operates, to a greater or lesser extent, with operational processes, and CCU is no the exception. This is present in all dimensions of our business, including our Executive Processes, which command our management functions.

From a processes point of view, CCU maintains a necessary balance between a formal and an informal organization. While the former allows us to have clarity that what we do ensures an orderly, structured and replicable management, the latter incorporates the necessary spontaneity that emerges from leadership and interpersonal relationships within the company.

A strong organization promotes excellence and passion for the order of a highly developed formal organization and personal spontaneity, typical of a very healthy informal organization. Neither is more important than the other; both complement each other harmoniously and virtuously.
