Entrepreneurs are committed to strengthening their social responsibility

Build trust,

Óscar Caipo president of Confiep

We must understand that our public has expectations that go beyond investing, creating jobs and paying taxes. Generate an impact in the country with inclusive growth that helps close the gaps with priority. That starts at home strengthen the relationship with our workers and generate relationships of trust with our clients through concrete actions, hand in hand with the State and social organizations. If we are not with integrity, our impact will be worth nothing and we will not regain the legitimacy that the sector requires.

Consider the mypes

Lorena Sandoval, president of the Cajamarca Chamber of Commerce

We demand that the State, at all levels, advance in meeting the legitimate aspirations of citizens, as well as closing unacceptable social and productive gaps. That the taxes collected by the country actually translate into better services such as education and health. A favorable and competitive environment for private activity, considering micro-enterprises. Companies cannot replace the work of regional governments that, despite having a budget, do not advance in its execution or allow it to get lost in corruption.

A better entrepreneur

Carlos Duran, president of Perucámaras

We have managed to agree on the business principles linked to citizens and the State, workers, clients and the production chain. But we must recognize that, at times, entrepreneurs have not risen to the occasion. Therefore, at this juncture we want to mark a turning point that promotes a business class based on principles and committed to the development of the country. A business community that covers four integral aspects of responsibility: legal, economic, social and environmental.

Citizen attention

Juan Fernando Correa, president of the Foreign Trade Society

When we look at the last 20 years, companies in Peru have grown dramatically. This competitive environment has allowed us to create jobs for millions of people and has made us be better, demand ourselves, forced us to question ourselves to be a better organization every day. However, we must reflect that, as a country, we still have many problems about how we serve our citizens. From the sector we are taking on the challenge of changing that culture of bad service for one of respect and good service.

Promote innovation

Ana M. Choquehuanca, president of the Peru SME Association

As entrepreneurs, we must promote long-term relationships between the actors in our production chain, fostering linkages and facilitating that the proposals of micro and small companies are heard. Likewise, promote the decentralization of our operations, technology transfer, innovation and business and employment formalization. Many SMEs will continue a long recovery process, and others will transition to informality. We need to act immediately by thinking about them.

Defend the rights

Alejandro Fuentes, president of AGAP

Promote the development of decent work in adequate environments, defending human and labor rights, with the elimination of practices that affect them. Perfect the skills of our collaborators, in an adaptive process that benefits their professional and personal development. The first step is to recognize when these rights are violated within an organization. The MTPE and Sunafil play a fundamental role in promoting the growth of formality, decent employment and eradicating bad labor practices.
