Copa Energia’s voluntary ESG commitments

What is ESG?

The acronym ESG (Environmental, Social and Governance) has to do with the necessary response of businesses to the challenges of contemporary society. It involves the synthesis of economic value creation with environmental, social and corporate governance issues. That is to say, it is a way for businesses to show responsibility and commitment to the market in which they operate, to their consumers, suppliers, employees and investors.

In order to affirm our internal commitments, Copa Energia has entered into commitments with a variety of national and global institutions. Find out more:
