Your conscious decision has the power to build a sustainable future for our community. Minimize your footprint by building and promoting an impact that inspires social and environmental well-being.
Factors that have led to the decline of many wildlife populations in Costa Rica's forests are deforestation, habitat fragmentation, climate change and animal hunting. As a result, there are floods, soil erosion, desertification and the loss of biodiversity.
Playa Grande’s Construction Committee’s mission is to promote sustainable construction sites that are environmentally friendly, cost-effective and safe for everyone.
We invite you to be part of the tool that will promote sustainable coastal development for Playa Grande. That our children can continue to go out to ride a bike in the neighborhood, that we can continue to nourish our spirit on every walk to the beach, that the sound of monkeys during our virtual meetings continues to be the noble confirmation of the biodiversity that surrounds us and that going surfing is as therapeutic as today... with flora and fauna, with maximum respect for women and children and with the heart of Playa Grande intact.
Obtaining the APGS certification for your project has environmental, social and financial benefits for the sustainability of a coastal town in development and in harmony with a National Park.

We define the quality of this certification by the degree to which we can reduce our impact on the environment. This means much more than evaluating the materials and methods we use for the products we create. It means taking a holistic perspective towards all aspects of our business, which includes, how resources are used, how waste is managed within our buildings and the quality of life that is provided to our workers. All of this to achieve rigorous standards of accounting, transparency and social and environmental wellbeing.
You have the power to help protect the environment and make a positive impact on the world. Let's work together to protect our natural habitats and ensure sustainability for future generations. We love Playa Grande! We invite you to join this community movement to preserve it.
