Gap analysis and improvement of internal processes.
- In June 2023, the ECOSLC Foundation congratulated the SQM Tocopilla port in Chile, for achieving ECOPORTS PERS Certification for the first time, following validation obtained from the independent auditor LRQA located in The Netherlands.
See certificate here- In April 2023, Puerto Tocopilla initiated the verification process of the Port Environment Revision SYstem (PERS) with the aim of achieving the Ecoports Certification and to comply with our sustainability goal. With that purpose we have decided to make available to the public Puerto Tocopilla Environmental Report on our website. By doing so, we seek to foster transparency and open communication in relation to our environmental practices and to reinforce our commitment to citizens and the environment.
