Corporate Citizenship

Our presence as leaders in the region gives us a great responsibility towards the communities of the countries where we are present, the clients we carry, the people we employ, and the suppliers with whom we partner. Therefore, we seek to maximize our contribution to all these groups, making the destinations where we operate a better place every day.

As part of our commitment to social sustainability, we have defined a Corporate Citizenship Strategy that consists of two main focuses: (1) to develop sustainable tourism through preservation and social development programs in order to maintain and restore national and cultural heritage, and (2) to use our structure, connectivity and transport capacity (passenger and cargo) for healthcare needs and catastrophe response in South America.
