More than 622,000 people impacted and 3,700 volunteers: this is how Grupo Empresarial Argos celebrated 20 years of its corporate volunteering program

• More than 3,700 volunteers took part in 145 initiatives in 2025. Over the past 20 years, the program has impacted more than 622,000 people across five countries, thanks to the dedication of more than 157,000 working hours devoted to social and environmental transformation efforts, which, among other outcomes, have contributed to the planting of 36,000 trees and the construction of 50 homes.
• Over the course of two decades, the program has evolved into a platform for collective action that mobilizes knowledge, time, and resources to generate social value.
• The volunteering program drives initiatives in community infrastructure, environmental conservation, knowledge transfer, and solidarity funds to strengthen the well-being of communities.

As part of its 20th anniversary, Grupo Empresarial Argos’ corporate volunteering program is presenting its management results, showcasing a path of sustained growth and how the commitment of its employees has become a collective force capable of driving real change in communities.

In 2025 alone, more than 3,700 volunteers, including employees and companions from Grupo Argos companies, took part in 145 volunteering initiatives, contributing more than 38,600 hours of service and impacting more than 184,300 people in Colombia, Honduras, Puerto Rico, the Dominican Republic, and Panama.

The volunteering efforts are carried out through different lines of action aimed at strengthening community well-being. These include community infrastructure, through the transformation of educational and community spaces; environmental conservation, with tree-planting initiatives, ecosystem cleanups, and protection of flora and fauna species; knowledge transfer, where volunteers share their expertise to strengthen local capabilities; and solidarity funds, aimed at supporting social initiatives and responding to emergencies.

“In twenty years, corporate volunteering has shown that an organization’s human capital can become a transformative asset for communities. Our commitment is to continue measuring, scaling, and deepening that impact with the rigor required by corporate sustainability.”

Looking ahead, the program, which brings together the volunteering efforts of all companies in the business group (Grupo Argos, Cementos Argos, Celsia, Odinsa, and Summa), aims to continue strengthening this culture of service. Its goal by 2030 is to generate even greater social impact through the dedication of more than 48,000 working hours of volunteering, thereby contributing to the development of more sustainable and resilient territories.
