Our commitments
Sustainability is a fundamental pillar of our corporate culture, which we translate into a firm commitment to the benefit of the environment and the social well-being of our employees, clients, and suppliers, ensuring responsible economic growth through practices that minimize the impact of our activities.
In Bco Congresos, we promote a global vision of sustainability under the UN Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). We actively evolve, recognizing that it is a continuously developing process that requires constant attention and effort. We are convinced that by adopting these criteria, we promote a responsible attitude from an environmental, social, and governance perspective.
