The objective of
becoming a Nation Brand
company is to elevate a
company's
standards and increase competitiveness in the national market.
In order to become affiliated, businesses undergo an evaluation protocol that covers the five values of the Nation Brand: Excellence, Sustainability, Social Progress, Innovation, and Costa Rican Rooting.
The value of Excellence encourages companies to raise their standards in quality, services, operations, and products by applying established process and procedure indicators.
Thanks to sustainability, environmental, social, and financial management come together in perfect harmony.
A company that demonstrates its Costa Rican roots, either through its human capital or by participation in the organization's shares.
Social progress is the capacity of an organization to support its collaborators' basic needs, provide well-being, and develop channels through which individuals can reach their potential as human beings and professionals.
Innovating, evolving, and not being afraid to change are critical factors for a company to prevail in an increasingly complex and demanding market.
