The salmon and fishing company Blumar hosted member companies of the Regional Network of the Global Compact, an instance where the Executive Director of the United Nations initiative, Margarita Ducci, participated.

This is the third meeting of the year held with companies in the region, to continue working towards the goal of contributing to the 2030 agenda of the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals.

Margarita Ducci, representative of Global Compact Chile, commented that “I leave this Global Compact Council session in Biobío very happy, because I see that increasingly there is greater enthusiasm from companies in the region to participate in the Council. This is a way to unite regions that are motivated by the sustainability issue, exchange experiences, address different types of knowledge depending on the subject, and I believe that today in the morning common topics of the 2030 agenda were addressed as an objective to advance in their goals”.

For his part, Felipe Henríquez, head of Social Management at Masisa and coordinator of the network, mentioned that “we are in the stage of being able to make visible and get to work. I believe that the idea for the future, and in the short term, is to be able to visualize what is the real contribution of each of the companies and us as Pacto Biobío, to the sustainable development strategy of 2030”.

“For Blumar it is very important to be a member of the Global Compact and actively participate in the different instances it has, one of those is the local Network in Biobío. That is why, on this occasion, we wanted to receive the Council in our facilities, which is a powerful network of companies from different sectors at the local level, academia and other organizations, to an instance of collaborative work and what we especially seek in this meeting is to strengthen this local network and generate a joint work plan”, clarified Estefanía Humud, Head of ESG Management and Climate Change at Blumar.
