(Special, October 15, 2008). A Special Prize was awarded to CAF at the 3rd edition of the Valenciaport Foundation Awards . The accolade was awarded based on the support provided by the institution to the internationalization of the Marca de Garantía quality seal.
Enrique García, executive president of CAF, thanked the jury for the Special Award, and said: “we are convinced that a sustainable development process depends, among other factors, on achieving world-class competitiveness, which is not possible if port services do not have the required quality.” García added that it is “precisely through Marca de Garantía that we can optimize the provision of these services.”
The activities undertaken by CAF in favor of the internationalization of the Marca de Garantía quality seal are carried out through the Latin America Port Quality Association, created in April 2007 by CAF, the Marca de Garantía Foundation, under the Generalitat de Valencia, and the Valenciaport Foundation.
