Los cuatro premios de este a\u00f1o se entregaron al programa de la cadena de supermercados D&amp;S para fomentar h\u00e1bitos de alimentaci\u00f3n saludable, una iniciativa de Chilectra -la empresa de distribuidora de electricidad de Santiago- para iluminar instalaciones deportivas al aire libre en barrios pobres de la ciudad y a dos proyectos, presentados por la minera Anglo American y la firma forestal Arauco, que buscan promover el desarrollo de las peque\u00f1as y medianas empresas de Chile.<\/P><br \/>\n<P style=\"TEXT-ALIGN: justify\">Este fue el sexto a\u00f1o consecutivo en que AmCham entrega el premio como parte de los esfuerzos por fomentar que las empresas se involucren con la comunidad local y promover la responsabilidad social empresarial (RSE). \u201cLa mejor inversi\u00f3n de una empresa que quiere proyectarse en el largo plazo es la que hace en las personas, en el llamado capital social, entendido \u00e9ste no s\u00f3lo como el que est\u00e1 directa o indirectamente vinculado al negocio\u201d, dijo el presidente de la AmCham presidente Mateo Budinich durante la ceremonia de premiaci\u00f3n.<\/P><br \/>\n<P style=\"TEXT-ALIGN: justify\">Un total de 25 programas postularon al premio este a\u00f1o y el jurado enfrent\u00f3 una dif\u00edcil decisi\u00f3n, a\u00f1adi\u00f3 Budinich. \u201cNo me equivoco si digo que para el jurado la tarea es cada a\u00f1o m\u00e1s dif\u00edcil, conforme constatamos que los programas se van sofisticando y completando\u201d, se\u00f1al\u00f3.<\/P><br \/>\n<P style=\"TEXT-ALIGN: justify\">Rafael L\u00f3pez, gerente general de Chilectra, describi\u00f3 el Premio al Buen Ciudadano Empresarial recibido por el programa <EM>Multicanchas: Un espacio de energ\u00eda para la comunidad <\/EM>de su empresa como \u201cel aliciente para nosotros, para seguir trabajando en programas de esta caracter\u00edstica que nos permitan tener una mejor relaci\u00f3n con la comunidad y con nuestros clientes\u201d.

This year\u2019s four awards went to the D&#038;S supermarket chain\u2019s program to encourage healthy eating habits, an initiative by Chilectra, Santiago\u2019s electricity distributor, to provide illumination for outdoor sports facilities in poor neighborhoods of the city, and two projects, presented by the Anglo American mining company and the Arauco forestry company, that seek to promote the development of Chile\u2019s small and mid-sized businesses.<\/p>\n<p>This was the sixth consecutive that AmCham has awarded the prize as part of its efforts to foster firms\u2019 involvement with the local community and promote corporate social responsibility (CSR). \u201cThe best investment for company is in people, in the so-called social capital, related directly or indirectly to its business,\u201d said AmCham president Mateo Budinich during the award ceremony. <\/p>\n<p>A total of 25 programs were presented for this year\u2019s prize and the jury faced a difficult decision, added Budinich. \u201cIts task becomes more difficult year by year as the programs presented become more sophisticated and rounded,\u201d he reported.  <\/p>\n<p>Rafael L\u00f3pez, general manager of Chilectra, described his company\u2019s Good Corporate Citizen Prize for its Multicanchas: Un espacio de energ\u00eda para la comunidad program as \u201can encouragement to continue working in programs like this one that help us to have a better relation with the community and with our clients\u201d. However, by helping to improve leisure facilities in 22 poor neighborhoods of Santiago, the program also contributes to forging better relations within those communities, he added.  <\/p>\n<p>Thanks to Chilectra\u2019s illumination, their sport pitches can be used after dark, increasing opportunities for physical activity and also helping to combat alcohol and drug abuse. As part of the program, which has so far benefited some 300,000 people, Chilectra also uses the facilities to invite the communities\u2019 children to film shows. <\/p>\n<p>Mat\u00edas Domeyko, general manager of Arauco, also drew attention to the importance of the AmCham prize for his company\u2019s Integraci\u00f3n a la Cadena de Valor de ARAUCO: Desarrollo de Nuevos Proveedores Locales program launched in 2005. Through this initiative, Arauco works with local public institutions to promote the development of small businesses in the communities of R\u00e1nquil and Quinchamal\u00ed near its Nueva Aldea plant in the south of Chile. <\/p>\n<p>By matching inputs of many different types required by the plant with potential local suppliers, the program seeks to create new jobs and business opportunities in an area in which they are scarce. Its aim, indicated the company, is not charity but to provide tools for the communities\u2019 sustainable long-term development. <\/p>\n<p>In a program that also targets small businesses, Anglo American Chile joined forces with Fondo Esperanza, a fund that provides microcredit, to facilitate access to finance for entrepreneurs in communities where it operates. As of July, the Emerge Program had benefited 1,989 people and, by 2010, aims to reach 7,000. <\/p>\n<p>In addition, Anglo American has formed an alliance with the Adolfo Ib\u00e1\u00f1ez University to provide training in business management for the program\u2019s beneficiaries. Anglo American aims to be Chile\u2019s best mining company, said executive president Miguel \u00c1ngel Dur\u00e1n, \u201cparticularly in our contribution to our surrounding communities which is, in the end, a contribution to the country.\u201d  <\/p>\n<p>Awareness of the importance of a healthy diet has increased in recent years but, despite their long coastline, Chileans still consume relatively little seafood. This is something that D&#038;S, which operates the L\u00edder and Ekono supermarkets, wants to change. In alliance with Mar de Chile, a foundation, its Por un Chile L\u00edder educamos en dieta de mar program not only teaches schoolchildren about the health benefits of eating fish, but also seeks to increase their awareness of other topics related to the sea. <\/p>\n<p>The initiative has so far benefited some 27,000 children in 45 schools close to L\u00edder supermarkets around the country. \u201cWe seek to align our CSR projects with our business and, in this project, we\u2019re helping to combat obesity,\u201d pointed out Enrique Ostal\u00e9, general manager of D&#038;S.  <\/p>\n<p><font size= \u201c2\u201d> <b>The Good Corporate Citizen Prize Jury<\/b><\/font><\/p>\n<p>The jury for this year\u2019s Good Corporate Citizen Prize comprised Mateo Budinich, president of AmCham; Mar\u00eda Eugenia Hirmas, director of the Presidency of Chile\u2019s social and cultural foundations; Paul Simons, U.S. ambassador to Chile; Charles Kimber, chair of AmCham\u2019s Corporate Affairs, CSR and Environmental Committee; Alfredo Ovalle, president of the Confederation of Production and Trade (CPC); Father Agust\u00edn Moreira, general chaplain of the Hogar de Cristo; Janet Spr\u00f6hnle, president of Acci\u00f3n RSE; Alvaro Pezoa, professor, Los Andes University; and Mladen Koljatic, professor, Catholic University.<!--:--><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p><!--:es--><P style=\"TEXT-ALIGN: justify\">En una ceremonia celebrada el 3 de octubre en el Hotel Marriott, AmCham anunci\u00f3 los ganadores de su Premio al Buen Ciudadano Empresarial 2008.<!--:--><!--:en-->Coinciding with the celebration of its 90th anniversary, AmCham recently announced the results of the latest version of its annual Good Corporate Citizen Prize.<!--:--><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"parent":0,"template":"","news_tax":[],"user_type":[],"class_list":["post-4031","news","type-news","status-publish","hentry"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v27.8 -
