LAMDA Flisvos Marina in Athens, a subsidiary of the LAMDA Development Group, has become the first marina in Europe to be awarded the European Foundation for Quality Management’s (EFQM) six-star certification.
Granted through the Institute for Sustainability & Sustainable Development, EFQM’s national partner in Greece and Cyprus, the six-star rating is the highest-level recognition currently awarded by EFQM.
According to a press release issued by LAMDA Flisvos Marina on 25 June, the award recognises “quality, innovation and sustainable business growth” and sets a “global benchmark in the marina and maritime tourism sectors”. The press release also highlights “strategic investments in advanced technologies, infrastructure enhancements, environmental stewardship and ongoing evolution” of the services that the marina provides.
Commenting on the recognition, CEO of LAMDA Flisvos Marina and Managing Director of LAMDA Marinas, Stavros Katsikadis, said: “There are no limits to business excellence. It is a way of thinking and acting that is experienced by the entire company – its employees, leadership and partners.
“Obtaining the EFQM six-star certification reflects our culture of continuous improvement and our focus on sustainable development. We continue to upgrade our services, strengthen our footprint in the community and implement innovations in technology and corporate social responsibility.”
LAMDA Flisvos Marina is located approximately five kilometres southwest of the Acropolis in central Athens, Greece, and features 310 berths accommodating yachts between 15-110-metres. Over half of these berths can accommodate yachts over 30-metres.
