Written by Evelyn Alas

Committed to being a sustainable bank that has a positive impact on the community, Banco Promerica, through its volunteer program Promerican Heroes, developed a beach cleanup campaign as part of the Promerica Regional Volunteer Day, which was held on october 22.

The beach cleaning activity took place in La Puntilla de la Costa del Sol with the participation of 78 Héroes Promericanos and in conjunction with the Fundación Domenech with the purpose of caring for and cleaning the beaches of El Salvador.

This activity also raised awareness among employees about the importance of leaving a positive footprint on the environment and the community through their participation in the beach cleanup. Banco Promerica will sponsor for one year the beach El Zapote Kilometer 73 of La Costa del Sol, positively impacting tourists, approximately 65 families in the area, about 300 students of the Local Educational Complex and about 100 people who visit the local church, who will now have a cleaner environment to live in.

Banco Promerica has a solid CSR Program called Banca con Solidaridad, which includes 4 pillars of attention: Women, Education, Community and Environment.

This activity focused on the environmental pillar and, together with other projects, will have a positive impact on the long term and on new generations.

In celebration of volunteer day, the Héroes Promericanos of El Salvador joined Grupo Promerica volunteers in Guatemala, Honduras, Nicaragua, Costa Rica, Panama, Dominican Republic and Ecuador, cleaning the region's beaches.
