    The purpose of this integrated project is to design the ‘Seal of Business Excellence’ of the Cuenca Chamber of Commerce, aimed at its member companies. This initiative arises from the need to strengthen the competitiveness, quality, and sustainability of the local business sector through a certification system adapted to the Ecuadorian context. The study is based on a qualitative approach, with exploratory, descriptive, and evaluative methodologies, and integrates interviews, business diagnosis and benchmarking with international models such as ‘Madrid Excellent’ and ‘Cambra Certificate.’ The proposed model includes phases of self-assessment, external audit, and continuous monitoring, and incorporates criteria such as quality management, human talent development, sustainability, and continuous improvement. It also establishes a flexible tiered structure, allowing for the participation of companies of different sizes and levels of organizational maturity. The results show a high level of acceptance by the business sector in Cuenca and a real need for a tool that promotes good practices, institutional recognition and added value. The Seal of Excellence represents a viable and sustainable strategy to promote a culture of quality, generate competitive advantages and contribute to regional economic development.
