Social Responsibility

Posted 3 December 2010 by admin

One of the Company’s most significant social programs developed through Fundacion Petaquilla, is the implementation of Production Modules. These serve as mechanisms to foster community productivity by promoting a more varied economy and sustainability.  This is achieved by assisting people with ventures that will provide for a livelihood beyond subsistence farming, identifying more effective and efficient manners of production, and transferring the use of new technology.

Main Production Modules:

Purchases for Promoting Production: It is oriented to assist families or small groups to commercialize their products.
