Empresas Copec has a sustainable management model
Empresas Copec has a sustainable management model that considers business development, environmental care and social and economic value generation for its different stakeholders as its main pillars.
Thus, our model consists of 3 dimensions: social, environmental and economic.
With regard to the social dimension, we carry out various initiatives that contribute to the individual and social development of people, as well as to the progress of the country. In this context, it should be noted that, Empresas Copec and its subsidiaries implement various actions to encourage professional development and growth of their employees, promoting work environments based on values such as respect and honesty, as well as professional quality, training, teamwork and good interpersonal relationships.
In the environmental dimension, in Empresas Copec and in our subsidiaries we carry out various initiatives that help to preserve the environment and ensure sustainable management of resources.
Finally, in the economic dimension, we have management, investment and productive action practices that translate into direct contributions and promote social responsibility, business ethics, sustainability, honesty and transparency, among others.
Our sustainable management has been recognized by the major global indicators.
for the fourth consecutive year, Empresas Copec was chosen by the Dow Jones Sustainability Index (DJSI) Chile as one of the leading sustainable companies. It was also included, for the second time, in the sustainable stock index MILA (DJSI MILA Pacific Alliance), which brings together the stock exchanges of Chile, Colombia, Mexico and Peru. This adds to the ratification in the sustainability of the London Stock Exchange, FTSE4Good, and in MSCI, a US weighted index of private equity funds, debt, stock market indexes, hedge funds and other portfolio analysis tools.
OUR STRATEGIC ALLIANCES
Empresas Copec supports Enseña Chile, an institution dedicated to the selection and training of young professionals who wish to spend their first working years teaching in vulnerable schools, in order to build a network of agents of change with the conviction and perspective necessary to impact the educational system, first from the experience in the classroom and then from different sectors. Enseña Chile has supported more than 60,000 students from educational institutions in the regions of Aysén, Biobío, La Araucanía, Los Ríos, Los Lagos, Metropolitana, Tarapacá and Valparaíso.
Additionally, our Company and its subsidiaries provide financial resources to the Belén Educa Foundation, an organization with 12 educational institutions located in vulnerable communes of the Metropolitan Region that offers quality education to more than 13 thousand students. On top of the various initiatives that we carry out with this institution, it is the Anacleto Angelini Fabbri Scholarship, which is awarded every year to the most outstanding student of each school to help finance all their education in a Technical Training Center or a Professional Institute.
Our subsidiary ARAUCO contributes to education through the Arauco Educational Foundation, an organization that designs, develops and implements teacher training programs in the communes of Maule, Biobío and Los Ríos in order to provide better development opportunities for children and young people. In its 29-year history, the Foundation has carried out programs in 34 communes, benefiting more than 575 schools and more than 5,000 teachers, who annually serve nearly 100,000 students.
