How does the Panama Convention Center apply ESG principles to be a leader in sustainability?

At the Panama Convention Center (PCC) we have positioned ourselves as a benchmark in the international events industry, not only because of our world class infrastructure, but also for our commitment to sustainability. In a global environment where social and environmental responsibility is increasingly relevant, we have implemented a series of strategies based on ESG (Environmental, Social, and Governance) principles that place us at the forefront of the sector.

Commitment to the Environment: Responsible and sustainable management

One of our fundamental pillars is the focus on sustainability environmental. Since our construction, we have integrated practices that minimize our ecological footprint. These practices include efficient use of energy, implementation of water saving systems and responsible waste management.

Our architectural design makes the most of natural light, reducing the need for artificial lighting during the day. In addition, we have installed a state-of-the-art air conditioning system that optimizes energy consumption, maintaining a perfect balance between comfort and efficiency.

Regarding waste management, We promote recycling and waste reduction. We have implemented recycling stations throughout the venue, and we work closely with suppliers and clients to encourage the use of recyclable and biodegradable materials during events.

Social Impact: Driving Community Development

We understand that our impact goes beyond the facilities and events we organize. Therefore, we have developed a series of initiatives aimed at social and community development. These initiatives include the creation of training and employment programs for the local population, with a special focus on women and young people, thus promoting inclusion and equity.

In addition, we collaborate with local organizations and NGOs to support education, health and well-being projects in the community. This social commitment not only strengthens our relationship with the community, but also contributes to a more just and equitable environment.

Governance: Transparency and ethics as the basis of leadership

Governance is another key aspect of our ESG approach. We adhere to high standards of ethics and transparency, ensuring that all our operations are conducted responsibly and in line with international best practices.

We have clear policies on human rights, anti-corruption and regulatory compliance. These policies are not only applied internally, but also extend to our suppliers and business partners, ensuring that the entire value chain is aligned with the same ethical principles.

Transparency in management is fundamental to us. We regularly publish reports on our sustainable practices, our social impact and our governance, allowing customers, suppliers and the community at large to have a clear overview of our performance in these areas.

We have integrated ESG principles into every aspect of our operation, proving that it is possible to combine excellence in event management with a deep respect for the environment, a strong social commitment and transparent governance. This approach consolidates our position as a leader in the industry and ensures our active contribution to a more sustainable future for Panama.
