At the invitation of the Private Assistance Board of the state of Sinaloa, Comunidad Coppel and Accionarse de Sinaloa, a few days ago the meeting “Experiences of Gratitude” was held, an interesting session that had a double objective. On the one hand, present to participating companies the work of private assistance institutions, how they work and the opportunities that can be realized by establishing strategic alliances for social investment and business volunteering programs. Another objective was to hold a seminar regarding corporate volunteering to exchange points of view on its characteristics, effective management, the recruitment and retention of volunteers and in general the characteristics that a corporate volunteering program can integrate. For this he invited Emilio Guerra Díaz, Director of the Global Compact Network in Mexico and advisor to the Mexican Volunteer Alliance. Asminda Zazueta Quintero, head of the Marketing and Social Communication area of the JAP-Sinaloa, spoke with the business representatives about the convenience of supporting projects from the state's private assistance institutions, since it allows them to find partners who, on the one hand, develop projects. relevant and on the other hand, being accompanied by the Board allows them to perform highly professionally. Next, Emilio Guerra Díaz spoke about the importance of strengthening corporate volunteering. He analyzed the situation regarding the emergency in Mexico City and how an impressive mobilization of volunteers was generated. It was observed that, first and in that order, the first to respond to the emergency were spontaneous volunteers, followed by volunteers from civil society organizations, then some corporate volunteers appeared and of course resources from international cooperation. The reason why corporate volunteers have not responded quickly is due to structural and other temporary factors generated by the emergency. Among the first, very few company volunteers have the topic of civil protection integrated and lack action protocols. They are not clear about what to do and how to respond to an eventuality.
They have also not practiced and have not Phone Number List generated an interaction of the company's resources regarding the mobilization of resources to respond to the emergency. Within the latter, the situational factors, the uncertainty generated by an emergency mean that first we must safeguard the lives of the company's collaborators, verify that everyone is well. Then will come the need for the company to provide continuity to its operations so that its products are required in the community that is collapsed. For example, one of the companies that claims to mobilize a large number of volunteers, its first response was to offer transportation to deliver food to affected communities, which in itself represents a great contribution to serving them. Guerra Díaz reviewed two cases of companies that have emergency protocols and have proven experience of at least a decade participating in disasters. These are the cases of Telmex and Walmart. As the last topic of the seminar, a case of alignment of the volunteer program, the work of the Foundation and the Core Business of the company with some of the Sustainable Development Goals, particularly on the topic of food, was shown. In the seminar, in addition to addressing topics on the design and management of a corporate volunteer program, Guerra Díaz developed the topic of measuring and evaluating the social impact of voluntary action. Thus, participants were able to learn about two impact evaluation methodologies, those of “Accountability” and those proposed by “Self-Accountability”. Each of the proposals places different emphasis on both the results and the way of observing the transformations. Without a doubt, this was one of the topics that caught the participants' attention the most. For her part, Adriana Rojas Zazueta, who in addition to presiding over the JAP-Sinaloa on a voluntary basis, is a businesswoman and founded the AccionaRSE movement more than two decades ago.
Rojas Zazueta pointed out that Corporate Volunteering offers great opportunities to link the company with the community as seen in the seminar. Fidel Alejandro Reyes López, Director of Accionarse, commented that his client is a community of companies in Sinaloa that promote the ESR Distinction and that it would be desirable for them to also join the Global Compact in Mexico. They are the first organization of that nature that promotes social responsibility in the state for 10 years. Fidel expressed his desire that AccionaRSE and the Global Compact Network in Mexico carry out more activities to support companies and serve the corporations of Mazatlán and Los Mochis in future actions. Regarding the seminar, he expressed that: “it is imperative to professionalize Corporate Volunteering and align activities with the Sustainable Development Goals. He considered that the workshop was an exchange of experiences of gratitude and that it generates a synergy between civil society organizations (in this case private assistance institutions) and companies. Finally, Fidel expressed: «For me it was a very pleasant experience, it gives me hope to know that there are professionals with practical theoretical tools and knowledge. The workshop generated a positive impact among the audience.” The group of companies that interacted in the talk with the Global Compact in Mexico was made up of representatives from Accionarse, Casa María, Beisbox, Cuen laboratoriesop “Creation and Development of an Institutional Volunteer Program.” There the participants were able to see the importance of knowing each volunteer who participates in the program both to take advantage of their resources and to have elements to thank them for their voluntary contribution. Katya and Emmanuel, two workshop leaders, participated in the volunteer prospecting exercise, which allows gathering information to take advantage of the talents, skills and resources of each person when they wish to provide volunteer service.
