Corporate Social Responsibility
Area Currently, the CSR area is responsible for coordinating and articulating the programs and liaison initiatives with the stakeholders, and the executive directors of the group are the ones who are responsible for defining and disseminating the Corporate Social Responsibility policies at all levels of the organization. The managers are responsible for the implementation of the policies in their respective business areas. Growth and consolidation of the sector today depend, among other things, on the actors involved becoming aware of the importance of being responsible in a wide sense, building value for the business, ensuring ecological sustainability for future generations, encouraging the empowerment of communities and, at the same time, advancing towards the realization of the vision to achieve a green and competitive Argentina, from the point of view of companies.
Among the programs implemented in this area, we can find the following:
