CGRC FOUNDATION
CAICEDO GONZÁLEZ RIOPAILA CASTILLA FOUNDATION
Our Management aims to add social value to Riopaila Castilla SA by channeling Strategic Social Investment towards the achievement of higher levels of human development in local communities on which the company has significant impacts with its operation, and we deploy initiatives that contribute to the society in dealing with social problems.
We focus on strengthening human capital, social capital and institutional capital, in the territories where significant operations are carried out, accompanying the company-community relationship, generating public-private partnerships and the implementation of programs and projects with high social impact.
Foundation-Company Articulation:
The Foundation and its contributing company share the commitment to contribute to the sustainability of the company and of the territories where it develops significant operations, inspired by the visionary purposes of its founders, Dr. Hernando Caicedo and his wife, Mrs. Cecilia González de Caicedo .
They assume the generation of shared value, the principles of socio-business responsibility, the comprehensiveness of interventions, social innovation, ethical management and operational efficiency, as pillars of the systemic articulation of their social management, maintaining their respective autonomy.
In developing this relationship approach, the Foundation participates in the definition and socialization within Riopaila Castilla SA of the social investment policy, strategy and guidelines, focused on the management of risks and social impacts of the operation. Likewise, it promotes the incorporation of innovative approaches, methodologies and tools in the management of the company's social dimension.
