About the Program
The San Luis Potosí Complex is a General Motors factory that helps manufacturing vehicles. The site is located in Mexico in the state of San Luis Potosí, which is a landlocked state divided between desert ecosystems and more montane environments, which have denser vegetation resultant of rainfall from the Gulf of Mexico to the east. Similarly, the project site contains various habitats ranging from desert to landscaped environments with forest patches as well. The team has sought to conserve and expand these habitat values by planting trees, maintaining landscaped vegetation and cataloguing wildlife on site and educating team members and visitors about its ecosystem services.
