Why seek recognition for your operational excellence initiative?
As an official partner of the European Foundation for Quality Management for the past twenty years, AFNOR promotes the EFQM Model 2025 and helps you implement it to showcase your commitment to excellence. In the case of the EFQM, it is not a matter of certification, but rather of recognition—or a level of recognition awarded based on the score achieved.
The EFQM recognition framework is available to any organization, regardless of its status, size, industry, or level of maturity in quality management. Establishing or strengthening a culture of improvement and transformation is often the first step taken by organizations seeking to explore and lay the groundwork for an EFQM-based excellence initiative. For more advanced organizations, the EFQM offers a recognition scale ranging from 1 to 7 stars, depending on the level of maturity achieved. Contact us to discover the EFQM recognition level and the solution best suited to your organization!
