As a way of recognizing companies working for sustainability, the Reconocimiento Liderazgo Sostenible (RLS) was created in 2010, an initiative that distinguishes companies committed to developing best practices in Environmental, Social, and Governance (ESG) for responsible, ethical, and inclusive development that creates value for Panama and its communities.
Throughout the history and evolution of this recognition, more than 110 member companies have taken part and more than 200 high-level programs with a positive impact on our society have been submitted, backed by a national and international jury of recognized standing.
This initiative is AmCham Panama’s contribution to making the best programs visible, inspiring other companies, and building a business community that is more aware of and responsible toward its environment and its community.
