“Manuela has been actively involved in the strategy of the Association of Companies in the West of the Bogotá Savanna, creating and leading the department's environmental and social membership ASOOCCIDENTE, in his capacity as Director of the NGO Ecological Association and the organization Ecomarket Solutions. Its contribution to the professional, enthusiastic and committed to the construction of a sustainability strategy for the Industrial Area Dimension today, with more than 800 companies from different economic activities as well as their active participation in the Board of Directors of the Association, makes it worthy of special recognition. In my capacity as promoter and president of Asooccidente over a long period of years, for the pleasant and fruitful experience that I shared with Manuela, I would highlight their high-quality academic, intellectual, and his very special human quality.”
