Heritage, Community and Environment is a non-profit society of civil nature, which gathers individuals and legal entities, foreign and national, all of them interested in the preservation, restoration, management, development, and promotion of the historical, architectural, and cultural heritage of Havana City, as well as the environmental and community issues in this territory.

This society’s mission is to cooperate with any initiative that fosters the project for sociocultural rehabilitation and revitalization of Havana City, which started in its Historical Center and takes place in the rest of the Conservation Priority Area determined by the Office of the Historian. It also contributes to the planning and management mechanisms that make this work possible, promoting it at a national and international level. In order to achieve its goal, this society manages, coordinates, and implements projects of diverse nature, relating them to their three major action fields: heritage, community, and environment.
