Diverse logistics company Leschaco has announced that its subsidiary in Peru has received the highest recognition for corporate social responsibility (CSR), the Responsible Care certification.
A statement issued by the company's head office in Bremen, Germany, said it underscored Leschaco’s “steadfast dedication to maintaining the highest standards of safety, sustainability, and environmental responsibility in the chemical logistics sector”.
“This certification reflects Leschaco's proactive approach to upholding the principles of Responsible Care, further solidifying its position as a leader in operational excellence and corporate responsibility.
“By aligning with these globally recognized standards, the company ensures its business practices not only meet but exceed the industry's stringent safety and environmental requirements.”
Cecilia Batallanos, managing director of Leschaco Peru, said: “This certification is proof of our ongoing commitment to maintaining and improving the highest standards of safety and sustainability across our operations.
“We are honoured to be part of the Responsible Care initiative and will continue to make a positive impact on both the industry and the environment.”
The Bremen statement said Leschaco remained committed to upholding the highest standards possible in executing its tasks.
“Leschaco Peru has committed to conducting regular self-assessments of its operational practices, continually identifying opportunities for improvement. The company is also dedicated to accurate and transparent reporting on key management indicators related to safety, health, and environmental performance.
“Additionally, independent audits ensure ongoing compliance with Responsible Care standards, reinforcing the company’s dedication to accountability.
“Recognizing the value of collaboration, Leschaco Peru actively engages with other industry stakeholders to promote the global objectives of Responsible Care, contributing to the advancement of safe and sustainable practices worldwide.”
Leschaco said its Peruvian milestone in Peru followed the recent certification of its US office, with other branches in Brazil, Chile, and Mexico also having achieved the certification in previous years.
“The Responsible Care certification is a significant recognition of Leschaco’s leadership within the logistics sector, demonstrating its commitment to protecting its employees and customers while playing a critical role in advancing environmental sustainability.”
