Sustainability
Our commitment to people, safety, community and the environment guides every step of our work.
At Proman GPO, sustainability is part of everything we do. From plant design and construction to how we work with people and care for the environment, we operate with one clear purpose: to build a plant that delivers lasting value for Mexico’s agriculture, communities and ecosystem.
We are guided by international principles such as the International Finance Corporation Performance Standards, Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD) Common Approaches, Equator Principles, and the UN Sustainable Development Goals, ensuring integrity and responsibility in everything we do.

People and safety first
The health and safety of our people, contractors, and communities are our highest priority. We apply Proman’s rigorous Health, Safety, Security and Environment (HSSE) standards, developed through more than 40 years of safe operations worldwide. The plant’s design incorporates multiple independent layers of protection, automated safety systems and continuous monitoring meeting international requirements for the safe construction and operation of world-class facilities.
In Mexico, the project has been authorised and endorsed by the institutions responsible for regulating environmental and industrial compliance including the Ministry of Environment and Natural Resources (SEMARNAT), the Agency for Safety, Energy and Environment (ASEA), the Ministry of Labour and Social Welfare (STPS), Civil Protection, the Federal Commission for the Protection Against Sanitary Risks (COFEPRIS), and the Ministry of Infrastructure, Communications and Transport (SICT). We have complied with all requirements established by these authorities throughout the design, construction and future operation of the plant.
Everyone who works with us receives comprehensive training and shares responsibility for maintaining a strong culture of safety throughout every phase of the project. Learn more about our HSEE Policy.
Investing in people and communities
Proman is committed to building lasting and sustainable relationships with the communities in which it operates. For more than 10 years, we have helped improve the quality of life in the communities surrounding the Topolobampo plant and have implemented programmes to support a wide range of social assistance initiatives.
Through our Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) Committee, we invest in projects that promote sustainable development, transparency and support for people and communities near our facilities, including initiatives in health, education, the environment, infrastructure, economic development, culture, sport, food security and community engagement across Sinaloa.
Our programmes include scholarships for students, the preservation of cultural heritage and traditions, support for fishing communities, healthcare services and improvements to public spaces, all aimed at creating opportunities and strengthening connections throughout the region.

Respecting our environment
Proman Mexico is committed to responsible environmental management and to restoring biodiversity within the Santa María–Topolobampo–Ohuira lagoon system. We invest in the restoration of Topolobampo Bay and lead projects that protect its ecosystems and benefit future generations.
In collaboration with experts from the National Autonomous University of Mexico (UNAM), the Centre for Food and Development Research (CIAD), the Interdisciplinary Research Centre for Regional Development (CIIDIR), and independent environmental consultants, we have developed programmes that comply with Mexican legislation and international frameworks, including the International Finance Corporation (IFC) Performance Standards, the Equator Principles, and the Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD) guidelines.
Our actions focus on reforesting mangroves, monitoring air and water quality, restocking shrimp, and conserving wildlife to achieve a net gain in biodiversity. These efforts are coordinated with federal, state and local authorities, and have been approved by Comisión Nacional de Áreas Naturales Protegidas (CONANP) and Secretaría del Medio Ambiente y Recursos Naturales (SEMARNAT) and audited by Registro Italiano Navale (RINA), Environmental Resources Management (ERM), and Golder Associates.
