America Free Zone
At AFZ, we decided to become licensed under the Country Brand – Esencial Costa Rica because we share its values and want to reaffirm our commitment to sustainability, excellence, and responsible competitiveness. As a free trade zone, we are a showcase for the country to multinational companies, investors, and international markets, and we believe it is essential to represent Costa Rica in a way that is consistent with its identity: respect for the environment, human talent, innovation, and quality. This license allows us to strengthen our reputation, align our environmental and social practices with recognized standards, and generate greater value for the companies operating within AFZ, while contributing to the country’s sustainable development.
