At Quiñenco, we believe that social responsibility is linked to long term development. We try to demonstrate this by the strong commitment we show to our employees, shareholders, the local community and society at large, which creates a strong sense of connection, and ultimately helps towards improving the quality of life.

Quiñenco believes that social responsibility represents a window of opportunity to make genuine contributions to the community through collaborative efforts. This enables us to put our values into action and take part in projects of importance which promote cultural exchange. In Quiñenco, we understand that social responsibility is not a response to social demands, but an opportunity to exercise leadership and contribute to the common good and progress of the country.

Our active participation is through activities and initiatives whose objectives are aimed at improving health and education as well as integration within all facets of society.

Education
 We are committed to improving the level of education in Chile as we believe that this is the fundamental key to further development. In this way, we sponsor high quality educational programs which strive to instil a sense of social conscience in dealing with today’s problems and challenges. Our group companies participate in community programs by awarding scholarships to needy children, teenagers and college students, and we also provide valuable equipment to aid in learning such as computers and laboratories.

Thanks to the collaboration of various public and private educational institutions, one of our group companies has initiated a program aimed at facilitating internet access in parts of the south of Chile to the public school system.

 We have also developed and promoted numerous campaigns to prevent drug, tobacco abuse as well as to promote the responsible use of alcoholic beverages.

It is our intention to lend a hand by providing the necessary tools to help people make smart decisions and construct a more secure future.
