Sustainability is an essential component of the business model of the Central American sugar sector. For several years, it has adopted and implemented various instruments such as policies, protocols, as well as good practice guides, with which it has promoted its production sustainably.
This effort has been carried out by the sugar sector as a whole, under two dimensions: firstly, at the national level, in each of the Central American countries, and secondly, through various actions at the regional level. The aim is for the sugar sector to ensure production conditions and practices that guarantee compliance with current legislation and ethics.
Similarly, as a complement to the implementation of sustainable production practices, the sugar sector promotes various initiatives and programs throughout the region aimed at social development in its communities and areas of influence.
Based on the above, it can be affirmed that all the activity of the Central American sugar agroindustry is aligned with the Sustainable Development Goals adopted by the United Nations.
Prevention of Child Labor
Central America is a region highly committed to the elimination of child labor. According to data from the International Labor Organization – ILO, it has succeeded in reducing this serious problem in recent years. The Central American sugar sector has been part of this effort, through the implementation, for several years, of multiple and successful efforts against child labor, which has changed the reality of the sector.
In this context, and in order to safeguard the achievements made, the Central American sugar sector has adopted, since 2022, a regional approach to promote its actions of education and awareness against child labor, through campaigns implemented year after year.
