Effective actions
AMS Compostable will supply products (biodegradable-compostable) for a financial equivalent of US$10 million, during the 2020 – 2014 period. The support comes from our Socio- Environmental Responsibility fund. The supply of this products (cash co-finance) corresponds to the monetary equivalent that the company will invest in the period mentioned. We aim to guarantee effective efforts that match with the objectives, effects, deadlines and audits established by the project (FFEM – UNDP). Under no concept the co-finance of our company is to be understood as a transfer of financial resources to the UNDP in Costa Rica, the latter will only be the entity responsible of coordinating and guarding the investments for mutual achievement of common objectives.
