Awards and Achievements
Being awarded three ISO 9002s and an ISO 14001 were major achievements for Qian Hu as such awards were firsts for fish farms in Singapore and around the world.
The ISO 9002 certification is given to companies that have outstanding quality management systems. Qian Hu’s first ISO 9002 was awarded to Qian Hu Trading in 1996 by SGS Yarsley for their conditioning and packing of their ornamental fish for export. The second came just a year after that, where Wan Hu division was awarded the ISO 9002 by Bureau Vertitas Quality International for their import and export, breeding, raising and quarantine procedures for the company’s prided Dragon Fish. Then, in 2000, Yi Hu division was awarded the ISO 9002 certification by SGS Yarley for the retail and wholesale of aquarium and pet accessories locally and abroad.
Having learnt from the guppy stock disaster in 1989, Qian Hu had their 42-hectare premises landscaped to avoid the overflowing of ponds and tanks that held their valuable stocks of fish. Runoffs of rainwater are collected and recycled for use in the ponds, tanks and even toilets. This one-of-a-kind system that reuses and recycles water was what earned Qian Hu the ISO 14001 certification. The ISO 14001 is awarded to companies that have excellent environmental management systems.
Some of Qian Hu’s many titles, awards and achievements include being the “first small-cap company in Singapore to win a best managed board award” and two Singapore corporate awards: Best Investor Relationship and Gold Medal in Annual Report.

Famous quotes containing the word achievements:
“Fathers are still considered the most important “doers” in our culture, and in most families they are that. Girls see them as the family authorities on careers, and so fathers’ encouragement and counsel is important to them. When fathers don’t take their daughters’ achievements and plans seriously, girls sometimes have trouble taking themselves seriously.”
—Stella Chess (20th century)
