SOCIAL MANAGEMENT STRATEGY FOR COMMUNITY PROGRESS​

Social Management for reinforcing the social license to operate is led by the Vice-Presidency and by Legal and Sustainability Management, which coordinate the social management of the company and its foundation. The philanthropic actions that are carried out are in response to the Social Management policy and the principles and guidelines of the Promigas Foundation.  


The companies have voluntarily adhered to and adopted guidelines deriving from the following international benchmarks, which are relevant to decisions and actions aimed at reinforcing and applying the sustainability approach:​

  • United Nations Global Compact. Each year we report progress on the ten principles that are fostered under this. The evaluation of the progress report has resulted in a 97 per cent compliance figure. 

  • We adopted Global Reporting Initiative (GRI) standards in 2009. These help us to report performance results and economic, social and environmental impacts to our interest groups in a coherent manner.
     
  • We have been using the Dow Jones Sustainability Index (DJSI) since 2015, in order to find new opportunities for improvement and thus help to reinforce the company’s sustainable management approach.

  • Our sustainable management approach is in line with the Sustainable Development Goals, and we prioritize the most relevant SDG, in order to ensure that the goals established in our mission contribute to development in the areas where we operate.
    ​​
  • In 2019, we carried out a pilot project to appraise the external effects of social impacts, and we are adjusting the methodology, with a view to updating the calculation of those impacts.
