AlicorpAlicorp, a leading company in the mass consumption sector, has been included for the first time in the S&P Global Sustainability Yearbook, a recognition that highlights companies with outstanding performance in sustainability worldwide. With this achievement, Alicorp becomes the only company in the food sector to represent Peru in this important list.
Among the aspects highlighted in Alicorp's evaluation are the creation of shared value with its clients, the progress in the development of its climate action strategy, as well as the company's risk management, which includes the sustainable management of suppliers and risks related to climate change.
These indicators are materialized through programs such as Aliados de tu desarrollo, which generate shared value with the company's customers by providing ongoing training and business solutions to entrepreneurs in the gastronomy, bakery and winery sectors. In environmental matters, the company has been making progress in its commitment to reduce its carbon footprint and water footprint by 20% by 2030. In addition to these actions, the company has a high standard of risk management, as well as programs to evaluate and develop its suppliers, such as the sustainable palm program, which seeks to accompany palm grower suppliers on their path to sustainability.
During the last year, S&P Global evaluated more than 8,000 companies worldwide and selected the best performers in each industry. In the case of Peru, a total of eight companies were included in the yearbook, with Alicorp being the only new entry. The other Peruvian companies recognized were: Corporación Aceros Arequipa, Ferreycorp, Banco BBVA Perú, Cementos Pacasmayo, InRetail Perú, Intercorp Financial Services and Minsur.
In the food sector, around 400 companies were evaluated globally, and Alicorp stood out by being positioned in the top 20 companies with the best sustainability indicators. The company has also achieved a 120% improvement in the overall indicator over the last 4 years.
"Being part of the S&P Global Sustainability Yearbook is an important milestone for Alicorp because it reflects the achievements we have been making in sustainability and shows us that we are on the right track. Being in the yearbook motivates us to continue incorporating sustainability into our business strategy, setting ambitious goals, generating a positive impact on our environment and contributing to the development of the communities where we are present," said Malena Morales, Vice President of Corporate Affairs at Alicorp.
The growing presence of Peruvian companies in this prestigious yearbook, which has established itself as a key reference for investors and companies worldwide, reflects the commitment of the Peruvian business sector to the best practices and international trends in sustainability.
