Santiago, August 21, 2025 – The British-Chilean Chamber of Commerce (BritCham Chile), through its Sustainability Committee, held a new event last Thursday called “Responsible Consumption: Public Policy for a Sustainable Future” at the Anglo American offices.

The event featured Víctor Caro, Head of the Environmental Information and Economics Division of the Chilean Ministry of the Environment, who presented the objectives of the National Program for Sustainable Consumption and Production (PNCPS).

Caro emphasized that the fundamental objective of the program is to contribute to the transition toward sustainable consumption and production patterns, decoupling environmental pressures from economic growth. To this end, the PNCPS contemplates the implementation of state actions through programs, policies, laws, plans, and agreements that promote responsible consumption and production, in line with the green growth agenda.

During his presentation, the official detailed some of the main lines of work underway, including:

• The Sustainable Public Procurement Guide and its web platform.
• The project for the repairability of electrical and electronic devices (EEE) through behavioral economics.
• The characterization of consumption and production to strengthen biodiversity policies.
• The Clean Production Agreement.
• The Emissions Offsetting System (SCE).
• The Consumer Information Subcommittee, within the framework of Human Rights and Business.

With this meeting, the BritCham Chile Sustainability Committee reaffirms its commitment to promoting opportunities for dialogue and collaboration that allow us to move toward a more responsible and sustainable future, contributing to the development of policies and practices that positively impact society, the economy, and the environment.
