Our Personal Approach
We bridge the geographical and cultural gap through the use of technology, creating a customized profile for each member that can include business information, photos, and videos.
We let our members tell their stories, including the history, their mission and values, and their plans for growth.
By amplifying our members' voices, we allow them to connect with their customers on a deeper level and build lasting relationships.

Sustainable Development & Fair Trade
Sustainability means meeting the needs of today without compromising the ability of future generations to meet their own needs. Sustainability has three pillars: economic development, social development, and environmental protection.
There are 17 Sustainable Development Goals (SDG’s) that were adopted by ALL the United Nations Member States in 2015. It’s a universal call to action to end poverty, protect the planet and ensure that all people enjoy peace and prosperity. The SDG’s are integrated and recognize that action in one area affects outcomes in others. Through the pledge to LEAVE NO ONE BEHIND, member countries (including the United States of America), have committed to fast-track progress for those who are the furthest behind.
The Trade Center of the Americas believes that the sustainable development goals are central in carrying out our mission of improving trade across North, Central and South America and providing economic opportunities for communities of color, indigenous and women-owned businesses, entrepreneurs, start-ups, and small to medium sized businesses. Given this mission, we have selected the 4 SDGS that you see on left to focus our efforts on.
