How do we approach our community work

At SQM Iodine Plant Nutrition, we have developed this area through four main lines of work that allow us to focus on relationship strategies and shared social values:

  1. Education and Culture
  2. Social Development
  3. Cultural and Historical Heritage
  4. Community Wellness, Health and Safety

Our social management system implemented in SQM Iodine Plant Nutrition responds to our Sustainability, Ethics and Human Rights Policy, in which we develop long-term initiatives and provide tools to the communities so that they can boost their own development and growth.

Communitarian lines of work

EDUCATION AND CULTURE

We implement and develop programs in topics that are not being addressed by the public educational system, especially in schools that are far away from large urban centers or that have a multi-teacher modality, contributing to the quality of education. In the last two years, the integration of programs that use technology, robotics and experiential learning techniques has been crucial.

SOCIAL DEVELOPMENT

We work hand in hand with farmers in the development of agricultural projects. We also support entrepreneurs, provide training alternatives and access to funds. In this way, we reiterate our commitment on a daily basis through social and productive encouragement.

CULTURAL AND HISTORICAL HERITAGE

We develop heritage rescue and enhancement of projects, based on the Pampa roots or indigenous cultural legacies, depending on the locality, with a presence in territories where these issues are not supported by other companies or the State of Chile, as well as carrying out conservation efforts aimed at cultural and traditional sites, and endangered cultural aspects.

WELL-BEING, HEALTH AND SAFETY OF COMMUNITIES

We encourage sports projects, as well as those activities necessary for the wellbeing of communities. An example of this in the support we give for the creation of inclusive sports, support for health programs and the provision of supplies for them.
