Social Responsibility
Building a Smart & Sustainable Future, for everyone
Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) is one of the most important pillars, sustaining the brand values that permeate through our Altia Smart Cities. We believe that businesses should be built to benefit everyone: collaborators, investors, employees, and local communities through development, health and education.
GK Group is committed to the development of sustainable processes, products, and systems, that protect our environment and safeguard the interests of local communities long term. We are dedicated to developing businesses that create a better future for all.
Our GK Group Foundation
We focus on four major areas:
Health
Permanent financing programs and medical brigades, in addition to the upcoming opening of the flagship project “Love and Care Medical Clinic”, that aims to provide general medical services and social assistance to community people with limited resources. This project will begin operating by the third quarter of 2013.
Education
The GK Foundation is, and will always be, committed to the development of educational
opportunities by converting public school to bilingual education programs. We experience
great satisfaction knowing that we positively impact the lives and futures of our younger
generations. Our projects include:
• Jardín de Niños Armenta in San Pedro Sula
• Escuela Armenta in San Pedro Sula
• Jardín de Niños in Santa Bárbara
• CEB in Santa Bárbara
• Escuela Santa Elena in Santa Bárbara
• Escuela Monte Limar in Santa Bárbara
• Escuela Montegrande in Santa Bárbara
• Escuela San José de la Sierra in Santa Bárbara
Nutrition
Feeding hope is a program that seeks to support many hungry Hondurans. Over 100,000 meals of food have been provided in the last year. That number continues to increase daily as we continue to feed & nourish contributing to Zero Hunger statistics.
Environment
GK takes environmental responsibility very seriously. We educate all neighboring communities through environmental talks and we help all residents, both adults and children, to take care of the planet through decisive action. Internally, all our operations are environmentally friendly.
We are color, movement, life, energy, expansion, knowledge, people. We are the force behind new thinking. For more than half a century, we have been making a positive impact on individual lives, locally, nationally, globally, and we have a long future ahead.
