25 Years of Excellence

“Over the past 25 years, the EFQM has also guided many organisations, from both the public and private sectors, to improve productivity and efficiency and to develop their human capital.  I am grateful to EFQM for its excellent work, supporting the European strategy for growth and jobs.” - José Manuel Barroso, President European Commission (2004-2014)


Introduced by forewords of two Presidents of the European Commission, as well as the EFQM Board, this publication gathers a broad spectrum of over 30 testimonies from organisations at different stages of their excellence journey.  


We hope they will inspire you in your quest for sustainable excellence.
