De residuos sólidos a negocio rentable


Innovalatino 2011 destacó a Ciudad Saludable como una de las innovaciones sociales más exitosas del país.

En el Perú se producen diariamente 15,000 toneladas de residuos sólidos y se recolecta sólo el 60% y de estos. Ciudad Saludable genera estrategias innovadoras que integran a la sociedad civil en el proceso de tratamiento de residuos sólidos. Genera la creación de empresas encargadas de la recolección y procesamiento de los residuos en todas sus fases, incluida la creación de rellenos sanitarios de tecnología económica y microempresas fabricantes de compost, generando trabajo permanente a cientos de personas. Ciudad Saludable está transformando la perspectiva de un problema en crecimiento de las grandes ciudades en una posibilidad de desarrollo.

IMPACTO
• Genera trabajo permanente a 3000 personas a través de micro empresas en 60 ciudades del país siendo beneficiados indirectamente más de 6 millones de habitantes.
• Autoridades y funcionarios de 50 municipalidades capacitados en la gestión integral de residuos sólidos.
• Réplica de su modelo en Venezuela, México, El Salvador, Colombia, Ecuador, Bolivia y Brasil.
• Reconocida por la Skoll Foundation y Schwab Foundation como una de las mejores Emprendedoras Sociales a nivel mundial y elegida la mejor ambientalista de Latinoamérica por la revista Latin Trade.
• Ha formado la empresa PWI (Peru Waste Innovations).

Minas más seguras

Innovalatino 2011 describió a Buenaventura como una de las compañías grandes más innovadoras, especialmente reconociendo su trabajo en responsabilidad social corporativa:

In order to raise awareness among the workforce and reduce accidents and injuries, Buenaventura trains workers to detect, identify and record all of the hazards related to each of their tasks, makes safety tours to demonstrate active leadership through the example of each mine’s general manager, and provides on-site theoretical and practical training. In 2009, its fatal accident frequency rate (FAFR) fell by 50% compared to 2008.

By improving living standards it is an ally in the quest to achieve the integrated development of the surrounding communities. One of its social goals is to improve access to and management of the watershed system surrounding its operations by promoting the construction of dams, canals and irrigation systems. For example, in Uchucchacua, under an agreement with PRONAMACHS and the Community of Oyón, Buenaventura created a program to recover 20 hectares of degraded pasturelands, which benefited 600 members of the local community. It also offers electric power transmission and engineering consulting services.

Currently, Buenaventura complies with the highest environmental standards and is committed to corporate governance best practices. In 2009, Germanischer Lloyd renewed the ISO certification for Buenaventura’s Julcani, Orcopampa, Uchucchacua and Antapite mining units, and granted certification to Shila-Paula mine for the first time. In 2010, Buenaventura implemented an Environmental Management System based on the ISO 14001 standard.

Un banco comprometido con la salud y educación


Innovalatino 2011 destacó la labor de Interbank en innovación social y además describió al banco como uno de los modelos de negocios más innovadores del país:

Its social responsibility efforts are focused on providing education and health care services and sponsoring environmental and cultural initiatives. Interbank’s support totals US$20 million per year. It offers 200 full scholarships to college students, and promotes entrepreneurship and leadership. In the area of public health, the company is also one of the biggest donors. Interbank’s employees supported “Hospital del Niño”, donating 150 blood units to young patients in the burns unit. In the cultural arena, Interbank sponsored a national competition which offers to the 24 winning works an exhibition in the Torre Interbank gallery. Conscious of its environmental and ecological impact, Interbank has signed agreements with cities for the upkeep of parks and gardens.

Innovalatino 2011 señaló a Alicorp como una de las compañías peruanas más exitosas en innovación de producto, especialmente señalando su trabajo en el Centro de Innovación en Panadería:

In January of 2010, Alicorp created a Bakery and Gastronomy Innovation Centre, whose main objective is to develop and create new products with the help of customers. In the process, the center also seeks to track changes in the consumption habits of Peruvians. Currently, the company is working on a project whereby it transfers know-how to Peruvian bakers. Peru’s artisan bakers compete internationally, presenting their best-baked goods in international contests such as "Pan's World Cup - France 2012", which managed to qualify Peru as the country with "The Best Bread in the World." The involvement of the bakers in the contest is sponsored by Alicorp and the Peruvian Association of Employers of Baking and Pastry, which seeks to enhance the value and quality of various breads in the country.

Gaseosas emergentes

Innovalatino 2011 señaló a Ajegroup, junto con Alicorp, como una de las mejores empresas peruanas en innovación de producto. Además, como señalan en el texto que copiamos abajo, también han innovado en su proceso de distribución:

In only 20 years Ajegroup has challenged the power of global players such as Coca-Cola and Pepsico Inc. throughout Latin America by offering similar beverages at lower prices than those world leaders. The firm credits its success in part to its ability to create a distribution system that works in the specific conditions of emerging markets. Recognizing that street vendors are an important way to reach clients, Ajegroup has developed a distribution network that ensures their products reach them. This type of business process innovation has enabled Ajegroup to continue entering new and compete in other emerging markets. (http://www.innovalatino.org/peru.html)
