Corporate Social Responsibility
We believe it is possible to develop beneficial social activities at our shopping centers, given the enormous potential generated by foot traffic and the diverse abundant space available. We have given free display space to people and organizations that offer socially beneficial information, goods and services.
Parque Arauco Kennedy is proud to work with the Paul Harris Rotary School by providing opportunities for children with Down Syndrome to learn occupational skills in our shopping center.
In 2007, Parque Arauco S.A. sponsored the
“Papelucho” day care center, contributed school utensils during the month of March and toys at Christmas time, this group activity replaced the traditional “secret friend gift” among co-workers.
As a way to help the people of Peru, after the tragedy suffered during the earthquake that affected the Valle de Ica area during the month of August 2007, we contributed resources to assist with the rebuilding of houses for the affected families. This type of aid supports our policy of strong social responsibility in the communities where our projects are located.
For the past three months, we have been implementing an Entrepreneurial Social Responsibility project consisting of recycling cardboard cartons, plastics, tins, burnt oil and other waste. Every day we classify these materials, which has signified an important effort by the company to contribute to care of the environment.
