It is essential to recognize real and forceful achievements of the mayorships whose efforts in both urban and rural reforestation are outstanding and notable so we achieve further support, their commitment to continue the actions that give back to nature and therefore, generate a better society.

Ecofriendly Company

This award is given to the company whose efforts throughout the years or its history are virtuous. Those merits can be its green facilities, reforestation of the community or the consolidation of a protected reserve.

We certify ecofriendly companies

Green companies always have more productive employees and grow their sales by increasing the perception of credibility and trust of their potential customers. It is a formula where everyone wins, the environment is improved, society by improving its fair trade practices and companies, having the satisfaction that the increase in sales is for a noble reason.

Specifically, they are companies where people want to work and customers enjoy shopping. We know that caring for the planet is a personal matter, but companies, regardless of their size, can promote this distinguished cause through their actions. It is easy to achieve an impact on the well-being of the community. In other words, no matter the size of your company, we have a plan to generate green profits in each sector, being part of this remarkable initiative.
