Capitalismo Consciente Perú is a movement of business leaders committed to the sustainable development of Peru. It is dedicated to coordinating actions for the development of companies that are increasingly aware of their interrelationship and interdependence with all stakeholders, including society and the planet. The goal is to place humankind and its ecosystem at the center of business models and corporate strategies, adhering to principles of integrity and transparency.
