Operadora Portuaria Centroamericana continues establishing benchmarks for ports in the country and CA-4 region through launching its inaugural sustainability report.
OPC represents the first port in the country and region to publish such documentation.
OPC’s sustainability report demonstrates the company’s commitment to transparency, credibility, and accountability before investors, global clients, and multilateral organizations.
The report was developed using the internationally recognized Global Reporting Initiative methodology, covering the 2022 to 2024 period.
Evelyn Leiva, OPC chief corporate social responsibility & sustainability officer, stated that with this milestone, OPC reaffirms its role not only as a port operator, but as a committed partner in sustainable development for Honduras and Central America.
Key report highlights include:
- Clean Energy Investment. Installation of 10,200 square meters of solar panels, generating 1.6 MWp of clean energy and significantly reducing OPC’s carbon footprint.
- Community Impact. Initiatives including Cascos Naranja, focused on improving neighboring community quality of life, alongside education, health, and inclusion projects.
- Operational Excellence. Certifications under ISO 9001, 14001, 45001, and BASC standards, plus compliance with IMDG and ISPS Codes, reinforcing OPC’s commitment to safe, sustainable, and responsible operations.
- Industry Recognition. Recipient of the 2016 Maritime Award of the Americas from the Organization of American States, honoring OPC’s technology application in safety and environmental inspections.
The report also emphasizes OPC’s culture of respect, safety, diversity, and employee well-being, highlighting the company’s integrated sustainability approach across environmental, social, and governance areas.
Publishing the sustainability report strengthens OPC’s leadership within the Central American port sector, positioning it as a sustainability pioneer and establishing a benchmark for other regional ports.
It also enhances Honduras and Central America’s perception as attractive nearshoring and public-private partnership destinations, projecting stability and corporate responsibility.
Through publishing its sustainability report, OPC reinforces its alignment with United Nations Sustainable Development Goals and its commitment to operate with excellence, create shared value, and drive economic, social, and environmental progress for Honduras and Central America.
