As leaders in the global maritime industry, leadership and responsibility go hand in hand both inside and outside the company. “Leading Responsibly” is the approach we give to our initiatives by improving the quality of life of our people, organization and the communities in which we conduct our operations.

Education is one of the most influential factors in the progress of individuals and societies, Hutchison Ports PPC presented “HELP US DRAW A BETTER EDUCATION” initiative to collect school supplies to provide support for children from remote communities that start school period with the tools they need to succeed.

This time the remote community of Quebrada Grande in Chirigui Arriba was chosen, located in mountains of en Coclé where a group of volunteers made the crossing in vehicles 4 x 4 to carry the more than 500 pounds of donations that will be used as part of the parent´s club to meet the needs of students during the 2017 school year.
