Ser Voluntario: Corporate Volunteering
We build change, we impact lives.
Volunteering means doing our part in history, always driven by will and solidarity.
As part of our sustainability strategy, our corporate volunteering program SER VOLUNTARIO was born, with the purpose of promoting corporate social responsibility (CSR) and strengthening our commitment to sustainability. This program seeks to generate a positive impact in various communities in Cartagena and Bogotá, while encouraging the active participation of our employees, strengthening their skills and promoting the practice of our corporate values.

What our volunteers say
Ser Voluntario is more than a project; it is a calling to make the world a better place.
Angie Cruz
Accounting CoordinatorThe experience I had planting trees was extraordinary and indescribable. The connection you create with nature and the satisfaction of contributing your grain of sand toward a greener future is exceptional. Planting my first tree meant not just placing it in a spot, but giving it all the love and good energy so that the tree grows strong and lives for many, many years.
José Barboza
Purchasing AssistantMy experience in volunteering has been extremely enriching, as it has transformed me into a better person, more committed to the development of social and environmental causes. By becoming volunteers, we have the opportunity to meet new people, learn to join forces, and contribute our grain of sand. This allows us to achieve those goals that help us bring out smiles that feed the soul.
María Nathalia Álvarez
Human Talent AnalystBeing part of CarboQuímica's corporate volunteering is one of the most enriching experiences I have ever had. It fills me with gratitude to know that, through small actions, we can generate a real impact on the lives of others and contribute to building positive change. Leading this space not only motivates me but also reinforces my commitment to continue driving initiatives that allow us to grow as a company with a purpose, connecting with our community and leaving a mark beyond what we do every day.
