Our mission to boost competitiveness and a sustainable supply of exports is a priority. We want to contribute to meeting international demands, promoting sustainable development in Chile, and supporting global efforts that seek solutions to climate change.

Promoting a triple bottom line exportable supply with three times the impact is a long-term investment that is resilient to economic changes and the international environment. It also allows adaptation and mitigation of the challenges resulting from climate change.

To face these challenges, we created the Department of Sustainability in 2020 as part of an institutional commitment to integrate sustainability into our work. This commitment places us at the forefront of market trends and guarantees a better future for the generations that follow. 

At the Department of Sustainability, we are oriented towards:

  • Supporting the construction of a sustainability culture that promotes Chile’s image and the competitivity of its export goods and services.
  • Promoting initiatives and programs that strengthen the competitivity of the triple bottom line export supply and position the country as a strategic partner for sustainable development.

The team’s work is guided by the United Nation’s Sustainable Development Goals and the principle of not leaving anyone behind.

Sustainability is part of ProChile’s DNA and our mission is to provide the best possible service for Chilean Companies to promote added-value exports.

The Advisory Council is a multi-sector space created with the purpose of supporting the design, development, and implementation of ProChile’s Sustainability Policy and it to be transparent and participatory.
