Leadership in Sustainability and Energy Efficiency

TAGSA has embraced sustainability as a strategic pillar of its management. The company has achieved Carbon Neutral Accreditation and ISO 50001 certification for energy efficiency, reaffirming its commitment to reducing environmental impact and promoting the responsible use of resources.

Beyond infrastructure, TAGSA has placed people at the heart of its operations. Programs such as Hidden Disabilities Sunflower, canine therapy, and various labor and social inclusion initiatives have contributed to building a more accessible, human, and inclusive airport for both passengers and employees.

These actions reflect an organizational culture grounded in values such as integrity, respect, and diversity—promoted by senior management and lived daily by the company's entire workforce.
