Operadora Portuaria Centroamericana (OPC), the Honduran division of International Container Terminal Services Inc. (ICTSI), has released its latest sustainability report showcasing its social, environmental, and economic impact throughout Honduras and the broader Central American region.

The report, covering the period from 2022 to 2024, was developed following the globally recognized Global Reporting Initiative (GRI) framework. ICTSI described the publication as a "benchmark for port operations within Honduras and the CA-4 area," reinforcing OPC's dedication to transparency and responsibility toward investors, international clients, and multilateral organizations.

Evelyn Leiva, OPC's Chief Corporate Social Responsibility and Sustainability Officer, highlighted the company’s investment in renewable energy, noting that OPC installed 10,200 square meters of solar panels. This initiative generates 1.6 MWp of clean energy, substantially lowering the company’s carbon emissions and supporting its commitment to sustainable operations.

The report also details OPC’s achievement of several key certifications, including ISO 9001 (Quality Management), ISO 14001 (Environmental Management), ISO 45001 (Occupational Health and Safety), and BASC standards, alongside compliance with International Maritime Dangerous Goods (IMDG) and International Ship and Port Facility Security (ISPS) Codes.

Emphasizing its corporate culture, the report underscores OPC’s focus on respect, safety, diversity, and the well-being of its workforce.

ICTSI reinforced that the sustainability report aligns OPC’s activities with the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), showcasing its ongoing commitment to operational excellence, value creation, and fostering economic, social, and environmental advancement throughout Honduras and Central America.
