Client Experience

The Client at the Center

We guarantee the client experience, knowing their needs very well, ensuring optimal communication and monitoring their satisfaction in different aspects.

GRI (103-1) At Celsia, we have found new ways to be strategic allies and advise our clients with an innovative portfolio focused on energy efficiency so that homes, business or urban projects can connect and enjoy all the advantages of the new era of energy, with the purpose of improving their quality of life, caring for the environment and being more productive, efficient and sustainable.

Understanding that the opportunities provided by technological advances, clean energy and the role that clients and consumers have in this new era of energy is what fuels our growing commitment to them: understanding them, adapting our portfolio to suit their needs, designing our channels and interaction is a way that reflects our Celsia Culture, making us increasingly aligned with their expectations.

Client management at Celsia is not an exclusively commercial issue; it is a commitment from all areas of the Organization, which permanently explores new business models that benefit them and facilitate communication: they have different options in the channels of their choice.
