How we work

EFQM Quality

The European Foundation for Quality Management (EFQM) Excellence Model develops the concept of total quality, which is established as a benchmark in Europe. It is a non-normative model that aims to help organisations achieve a higher level of self-awareness and understand the relationships between their action and the results they are able to achieve, with an emphasis on optimising operating processes. AMPANS is evaluated according to this model.

AMPANS is adhered to the United Nations Global Compact and committed to the 17 SDGs, all its action is aimed at improving the quality of life of people with intellectual disabilities and at risk of exclusion, aspiring to build a kinder and fairer world that takes into account future generations.

The entire AMPANS Environmental Policy is aimed at working towards sustainable development, meeting the needs of the present without compromising the ability of future generations.
