Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR)

APM Terminals Callao's CSR policy is embedded across the company and is based on our values. We adhere to the UN Global Compact, through our parent company. We also have corporate policies for donation and investment in neighboring communities.

We base our investment in Corporate Social Responsibility on Education, Health or Infrastructure Projects, in line with our triple focus model. The projects that we contribute to, include the following highlights:

APM Terminals Callao offers scholarship programs for high-performance secondary education and higher education students with low economic means. Students must reside in the area of immediate direct influence, which includes the residents of AAHH Puerto Nuevo, Barrio Frigorífico, Chacaritas, San Juan Bosco, Pasaje San Pedro and Artisanal Fishermen of Callao and their families.

The company’s Annual Study Scholarship Program at the CETPRO “Nuestra Señora del Rosario” is aimed at training and promoting conditions for development, as well as the generation of income and employment. People of different ages from the area around the terminal including the artisanal fishermen of the DPA Callao and their families, can choose from courses in Customs, Accounting, Office Administration, Primary Teaching, Pharmacology, English, computing, PC assembly, Graphic Design, Clothing, Cosmetology, Baking, Crafts and hairdressing.

In addition, they are given vocational information workshops, job search advice and feedback on their business plan.

The programme is run for the artisanal fishermen of the DPA Callao with the aim of contributing to improve their quality of life as well as having the possibility of having an alternative source of income.

In order to maintain a relationship of trust between APM Terminals Callao and local communities, and to promote citizen participation and vigilance, the Participatory Monitoring Committee was formed. These are voluntary, unpaid positions of responsibility for the local community.

The committee participates in quarterly monitoring of air quality, noise control, vibrations, observation of the impact on the life of birds within the marine ecosystem and the control of seawater and sediment. The results are delivered to the monitors, so that they can be distributed in their respective communities.
