ENVIRONMENTAL CONSERVATION

Environmental conservation is a commitment that involves all of society, from civil society to government institutions and private companies. The IR Verde Program drives collaborative proposals that address economic, social and environmental challenges in Central America and the Dominican Republic. Examples such as Vitroplantas in El Salvador show how innovation and technology can contribute to environmental conservation and economic development, highlighting the importance of collaboration among different stakeholders.

The ARSE regional alliance promotes corporate responsibility and sustainability in the region, while companies such as INLOHER use digitalization and traceability to strengthen transparency and sustainability in their supply chains. Other initiatives, such as DELSUR and Davivienda Seguros El Salvador, address threats to biodiversity and environmental challenges through sustainable practices and strategic collaborations. These examples highlight the crucial role of companies in promoting environmental conservation and sustainability in the region.
