Community involvement
At Grupo Carso, we recognize the significant impact our operations may have generate on local communities. Our commitment goes beyond commercial objectives; we aim to be an active partner in the development and well-being of communities where we operate. This commitment is reflected in building close and respectful relationships, providing support to our employees and their families, and working in close collaboration with Fundación Carlos Slim to drive social progress both in Mexico and across Latin America.
Fundación Carlos Slim plays a key role in our social impact strategy. With more than 100 programs and projects across 13 areas including education, employment, health, sports, the environment, and culture, its mission is to improve the quality of life of people of all ages. Its work focuses on the development of human capital and the generation of opportunities that foster the comprehensive development of individuals and entire communities. Thanks to these efforts, the Foundation has achieved significant impact, benefiting millions of people in Mexico and Latin America. Some of these initiatives are presented below:
Telmex-Telcel Scholarship Program
In line with our commitment to social development and educational equity, we support the academic development of our employees and their immediate family members through a scholarship program. This initiative supports the social pillar of our ESG strategy, fostering equal opportunities to access higher education, promoting digital inclusion, and strengthening professional competencies, generating a positive impact on the broader community.
We continue to support the “¡Oye! Tú que oyes, ayuda a educar a un niño sordo” campaign
A long-standing initiative in which we invite our customers, both at Mixup stores and Mixup.com, to make donations starting at Ps. 10. Promotora Musical matches this contribution, with the total raised allocated to the IPPLIAP institution, which specializes in training teachers and family members in sign language, as well as in providing primary and secondary education to deaf children, with the aim of supporting their full social inclusion.
Social Well-Being Program
We offer ongoing activities based on four essential pillars, Training, Health, Culture, and Recreation, that contribute directly to improving the quality of life of our employees, as well as their families and friends.
ASUME Program
As part of our ESG strategy, we foster comprehensive human growth through sessions focused on positive values and habits, applicable in the personal, family, and professional lives of our employees. With cross-cutting participation and an inclusive approach, this initiative strengthens the work climate, strengthens a sense of community, and reinforces our ethical culture. It also strengthens the Governance dimension, consolidating an organization guided by principles of integrity and social responsibility.
Promoting a Savings Culture
In line with our commitment to financial well-being, we implement a financial education program aimed at fostering a savings culture among employees. This action, aligned with the social pillar of our ESG strategy, seeks to promote economic stability, strengthen financial autonomy, and foster healthy financial habits that contributes positively to the quality of life of our workforce and their family environment.
Carso Capacítate
We offer technical and professional training opportunities to our employees and their families. This initiative, within the social pillar of our ESG strategy, drives inclusion, equity, and the continuous improvement of competencies, strengthening employability and supporting personal development.
During the year, 6,156 kilograms of plastic caps were collected and donated to organizations supporting medical treatments for children with cancer.
Regarding workforce inclusion, we collaborate with organizations such as “Best Buddies”, promoting employment opportunities for people with intellectual disabilities.
As part of our environmental care campaigns, we collected 1,224 kilograms of recyclable materials, including PET, cardboard, and paper, contributing to circular economy and waste reduction practices.
These initiatives reflect Grupo Carso’s commitment to the comprehensive development of communities, encompassing educational, cultural, health, and economic development aspects, always with an approach of responsibility and sustainability.
