Get to know our transversal programs

Jaguar Connection

From Mexico to northern Argentina, across 18 countries and 7 million km2 is the jaguar connection, the largest feline in the Americas. But it is disappearing. With Jaguar Connection we contribute to the mitigation of climate change, protection of this feline, essential for the balance of ecosystems and its associated biodiversity, and support for rural communities in Latin America.

Puma Connection

In Chile, since the jaguar does not exist, we protect the puma, the most adaptable feline that inhabits 28 countries in America, from Canada to the south of this country.

Development Connections

It works under an inspiring purpose: to strengthen educational, community, and institutional capacities with the support of different allies, understanding the particular realities in each country where we have a presence, and putting into practice more than 30 years of experience in social management.

Differents looks

Differences make people unique, nurturing work teams, and provide new perspectives on business and the way things are done. This is how the diversity and inclusion program Otras Miradas was born, which works from three management approaches aimed at protecting fundamental rights: gender, accessibility, and multiculturalism, to promote work environments based on respect and offer equal conditions for access to opportunities and workspaces.

#ISATalentTraining

It was born as a strategy for the early attraction of talent with high potential, which stimulates the creation of knowledge, reduces generational change times, and strengthens the employer brand. Designed as an annual cycle of selection, development, and evaluation of young professionals that allows our company to face changes, both due to the technical demands that the loss of critical talent represents, and the environmental conditions that require talent with new capabilities.
