We offer safe work environments where both the law and and people's integrity are respected to provide the best possible working conditions.

Cómo lo hacemos | Progreso, en todo lo que hacemos

Occupational health and safety are paramount to sustainable development.

Therefore, at Progreso we consider the workplace a priority environment that promotes well-being.

One of the greatest achievements of our Occupational Health and Safety Policy is the Zero Accidents Program. This program works hard towards our vision of achieving zero incidents with injury and suspension.

To this end, we implemented Scheduled Inspections, Control Verifications, Safety Gradients, Frequency and Severity Index, and the Orange Helmet. The latter promotes internal leadership and encourages the detection of correct and incorrect behaviors.

Thanks to the high Occupational Health and Safety performance since 2019, we are the only Guatemalan and Central American company to make the Campbell Institute list of members.

More professional drivers, increased road safety

In 2013 the doors of the Progreso Professional Driving Simulation Center were opened to train Progreso and external heavy transport drivers. This was achieved through the support of Progreso’s OH&S Advisory and Training Center.

Its implementation guarantees people’s well-being and on-time product delivery. It also focuses on preventing accidents and strengthening the country’s road safety culture.

We use the National Safety Council’s Defensive Driving methodology to certify drivers, which enables us to offer these courses in Central America.

Compliance and due diligence

Our firm commitment to doing the right thing for the common good includes respecting and protecting human rights.

As part of our human rights responsibility, we have a risk, compliance, and sustainability committee that oversees risk management and detection. It also addresses due diligence agendas and proactively seeks to be a leader in sustainability, aligned with COVEC’s values.

Corporate Governance

Our Corporate Governance contains a set of rules that regulate the internal relations between the Business Partners’ Meeting, the Board of Directors, the Executive Team and the rest of our associates.

Our bylaws contain the principles related to:

  • Maximizing the value of member’s interest
  • The essential role of the Board of Directors in the management and administration of the institution.
  • The organizational structure
  • Information Transparency regarding relationships with shareholders, investors, associates, clients, and other interested parties.

Our main governing body is the Business Parter’s Meeting, from which the Board of Directors emerges.
