Constructora Meco has taken a significant step toward corporate transparency and innovation with the publication of its first Sustainability Report for 2024, prepared in accordance with the international standards of the Global Reporting Initiative (GRI). This globally recognized framework ensures the reliability and comparability of reported data, strengthening the credibility of the report and reinforcing trust among stakeholders. 

The report highlights how sustainability has become a value-generating business strategy, contributing to greater operational efficiency, improved risk management, enhanced competitiveness and the creation of new business opportunities. In the context of evolving global trends and increasing environmental and market demands, sustainability is no longer viewed as an additional cost or a peripheral requirement, but rather as an investment that delivers economic, social and environmental value. 

Moving beyond superficial sustainability practices often described as “greenwashing,” the company emphasizes its commitment to integrating sustainability across all levels of the organization—from commercial strategy and administrative management to executive decision-making. This approach ensures that every project, department and employee contributes to a unified roadmap focused on shared value creation and the highest standards of corporate governance. 

The preparation of the report involved collaboration across multiple areas of the company, including finance, compliance, communications, integrated management, project teams, administration, environmental management, human resources and business units. Through this initiative, Meco positions itself as a regional benchmark, demonstrating that sustainability can serve as a powerful driver of development that benefits both business performance and society while consolidating a corporate model built on profitability, responsibility and long-term vision. 

Founded in 1977 by Ángel Américo Cerdas and his son Carlos Cerdas Araya, Constructora Meco has grown into one of the most prominent Costa Rican construction companies operating across Latin America. Today the company delivers projects in Costa Rica, Panama, Nicaragua, El Salvador and Colombia, employing more than 6,500 professionals across the region.
