Overview
- The Delegation of the European Union in Peru officially presented the Reconocimiento Empresarial on June 17, 2026, honoring firms that submitted documented evidence of measurable advances in environmental management, gender and equal opportunities, and work inclusion.
- Eurocámaras led a documentary audit and a technical expert committee validated results with institutional checks from Peru’s Ministry of the Environment (Minam) and the Ministry of Women and Vulnerable Populations (MIMP).
- Winners span multiple sectors and include Banco Interamericano de Finanzas (BanBif), Supermercados Peruanos and Unique, with Unique and Supermercados Peruanos reaching the highest evaluation level for cross‑cutting practices.
- EU officials framed the recognition as an entry point to follow‑on cooperation in areas such as circular economy, labor formalization and equality, intended to move companies from voluntary claims to auditable practices and better market access.
- Organizers say verified ESG practices can cut costs, reduce social and operational risk, and improve access to international capital, and the program builds on the EU’s deeper economic ties with Peru through investment and the Global Gateway strategy.
