Serviestiba Strengthens Its Green Strategy with Seedling Distribution

In line with its commitment to environmental sustainability and community development, Serviestiba carried out the distribution of 400 fruit tree seedlings to its employees working at the ports of Balboa and Cristóbal, as part of its reforestation support program. This activity was conducted in partnership with the Fundación Solidaridad y Desarrollo de Panamá (FUSODEP).

This initiative strengthens the company’s Drúa and Huella Verde programs—key pillars of Serviestiba’s sustainability strategy—aimed at promoting environmental awareness both within and beyond its port operations.

Each port received 200 seedlings, including fruit species such as avocado, orange, lemon, and grapefruit, selected for their nutritional value, climate adaptability, and contribution to the natural environment. The trees will be planted by the employees themselves at home, encouraging green spaces and reinforcing the connection between the company and the communities where it operates.

"Planting a tree is planting the future. In an industry where water is life and a driving force, we understand that preserving the environment is an essential part of our mission," said Abdiel Puyol, General Manager of Serviestiba.

Meanwhile, Roberto González, representative of FUSODEP, expressed gratitude for Serviestiba’s support, highlighting that this collaboration directly benefits farming families from the Ngäbe Buglé region and rural communities, who grow these seedlings as part of their self-sustainability model.
