Kind regards from the Guatemalan Cleaner Production Centre Foundation -CGP+L-.
In May 2018, the CGP+L launched the Environmental Performance Program with the aim of providing technical tools that contribute to improving the competitiveness and performance of companies and institutions in Guatemala, starting with the DDA (Environmental Performance Assessments) that facilitates technical forms to carry out self-assessments on different environmental issues.
It is important to mention that this initiative has the institutional support of the Guatemalan Chamber of Industry and the Ministry of Environment and Natural Resources.
Since the beginning of the program, we have periodically shared data, analysis and trends, with the idea of providing feedback to the different sectors of the country and identifying progress and areas of opportunity.
On this occasion we are pleased to share the executive summary of the first report on the Environmental Performance Profile - Guatemala, presenting the information that has been generated in the first four years of activity, and in which you can learn in detail the behavior of the 35 aspects defined for this methodology. This publication is based on the analysis of 296 self-assessments of companies in Guatemala, carried out between May 2018 and August 2022.
With the following link you have access to the executive summary (Spanish and English) and the full report (Spanish), we invite you to review and share the information that has been generated:

We take this opportunity to remind you that the DDA is freely accessible through www.desempenoambiental.net. By carrying out the self-assessment, in addition to identifying the points of progress and opportunities for improvement, as well as making a comparison of the result with the general trend, the level of compliance can be identified in order to obtain the Environmental Performance seal, which seeks contribute to the strengthening and environmental differentiation of companies and institutions.
We are available for any comment or doubt in this regard, we appreciate the usual attention and support and we hope that this publication will be a positive contribution.
