At Altia Smart City, we are proud to have received our 15th Sello de Empresa Socialmente Responsable (ESR), awarded by the Fundación Hondureña de Responsabilidad Social Empresarial (FUNDAHRSE). This prestigious distinction recognizes companies whose work in environmental, social, and economic impact contributes to sustainable development in Honduras.
For us at Altia, this recognition reaffirms a long-standing commitment to building smart, inclusive, and responsible ecosystems that empower people and communities. Sustainability and social responsibility are not just part of our operations—they are at the heart of how we grow.
What the Sello ESR Means
The Sello ESR is a distinctive recognition that highlights organizations that have integrated sustainability into their business strategy, aligning with Honduras’s sustainable development goals.
It is awarded annually to companies that demonstrate excellence in responsible management practices and measurable impact on society and the environment. The evaluation process includes rigorous standards that assess governance, human rights, labor practices, environmental management, fair operations, consumer issues, and community development.
Receiving the Sello ESR signals that a company is a leader in implementing sustainable management, ethical conduct, social inclusion, community involvement, and environmental stewardship.
