30 companies launch an unprecedented alliance for sustainable events in Costa Rica

This transformative collaboration, presented in conjunction with the seventh anniversary of the Costa Rica Convention Center (CCCR), demonstrates the commitment of leading companies to addressing global sustainability challenges while redefining the way corporate events are managed.

The world is rapidly moving toward a deeper integration of responsible and sustainable practices across all sectors. Companies that are already part of the Impulsa Network are gaining exclusive access to global knowledge and strategic alliances that position them as leaders in delivering more sustainable events.

It's important to emphasize that it's not just about implementing sustainable practices, but also about directly linking them to event planning. While many companies are already making efforts in sustainability, they may be missing the opportunity to make a real difference in the way they deliver these key events.

Why join? These are the exclusive benefits your company can't miss:
Access to Global Networks and Exclusive Knowledge: Thanks to our partnership with the International Congress and Convention Association (ICCA), member companies will have access to international conferences, exclusive workshops, and sustainability experts that will allow them to create even more sustainable events.

Linking Sustainability with Event Organization: María Victoria Piñeres, International Development Manager at the Costa Rica Convention Center, emphasized that the key is connecting sustainability with the way companies organize their events, creating a synergy that reinforces efforts on all fronts. This is a unique opportunity to transform the way events are managed in Costa Rica.

International Reputation: The founding companies of the Impulsa Network will receive the Impulsa Network Seal, a distinction of sustainability leadership that they can display in their corporate communications, consolidating their global reputation as companies committed to the future of the planet.

Gustavo Alvarado, director of the Costa Rican Tourism Institute (ICT), commented: “For us, as ICT, supporting initiatives like the Impulsa Network is essential to promoting an increasingly sustainable tourism and events model. This platform allows companies to align their efforts with international best practices, ensuring that Costa Rica is a leader in sustainability and that the events we hold are aligned with global standards.”

For her part, María Victoria Piñeres, International Development Manager at the Costa Rica Convention Center, added: “This is the moment for Costa Rican companies to become global leaders in sustainability. We're not just talking about best practices, but about integrating them into your company's overall strategy. The Impulsa Network is an opportunity to be part of the future, to become the benchmark everyone looks to.”

The Costa Rica Convention Center, operated by Grupo Heroica, remains at the forefront of sustainability with its proprietary decarbonization methodology that neutralizes operational emissions from all its events. It is a leader, along with companies such as Telecable, Holcim, Sodexo, Grupo Montecristo, ASOBACEN, the National Sustainability Council, Florex Cleaning Products, Roche, Banco Nacional, Grupo Purdy, Universidad Latina, ULACIT, Publimark, Shift Porter Novelli, Meeting and Show Company Masco, La República Newspaper, Claro Costa Rica, ESPH, Volio y Trejos, Compañía Nacional de Fuerza y ​​Luz, Grupo Mutual Alajuela-La Vivienda de Ahorro y Préstamo, Nakia Natural CR, the Doctoral Program in Natural Sciences for Development, Skill, Anphora SA, Reserva Conchal, Coopeande, and the Chamber of Industries, which are already part of this alliance to develop more sustainable events.

The diversity of sectors involved reinforces the initiative's national reach and international projection.
