Awards and recognition
PriceSmart recognized as one of the top places to work in Central America!
Tecoloco is a prominent recruiting and job placement agency in Central America. Their EMAT awards recognize companies as Empresas Más Atractivas para Trabajar, or “most attractive places to work” in different countries in the region, based on surveys that evaluate employees’ opinions of compensation, benefits, corporate culture, leadership, and opportunities for growth, among other factors. In 2024, we were honored to rank highly in Tecoloco’s surveys in El Salvador, Guatemala, and Honduras. These achievements reflect our commitment to delivering best-in-class benefits, an inclusive and diverse culture, and effective leadership. We appreciate the hard work and dedication of our entire team.
The Ecological Blue Flag program is overseen by a national committee of public and private institutions. Ecological Blue Flags are annual awards given in recognition of voluntary work related to conservation and sustainable development, the protection of natural resources, actions to reduce climate change, improvements to hygiene or sanitary conditions, and the improvement of public health outcomes in Costa Rica. In 2024, all eight PriceSmart clubs in Costa Rica received Ecological Blue Flags.
51% of our merchandise was sourced from local vendors.
The rooftop solar panels on 45 of our 54 clubs generated 31,952 MWh of clean power from the sun.
Thanks to our expanded network of public recycling stations, which were available at seven of our clubs in Honduras, Guatemala, and El Salvador, community members were able to divert 1,148 tons of solid waste from landfills or improper disposal.
