A genuine commitment to the community
A sense of giving back to society—through its ranks and structural pillars—is what has always set the Garza Ponce Group apart ever since Engineer José María Garza Ponce (+) founded the construction company in 1966, as he understood even then that a company must have a genuine commitment to the community.
This value proposition extends far beyond—first by focusing on the well-being of its employees and their families, and then by extending that positive impact and growth to the community.
True to its mission—“We transform lives by building dreams that transcend”—Grupo Garza Ponce maintains social responsibility programs and projects within each of its business areas. These initiatives aim to create lasting benefits for the environment and forge ties with the community, as well as to develop best practices regarding quality of life and professional ethics, with the goal of building a better future for future generations.
Among the company's social responsibility programs, the "GP Volunteer Program" and "Construye Verde" stand out, as they focus on the two key elements of a community: people and their environment.
The goal of the GP Volunteer Program is to improve the quality of life and living conditions in the communities directly connected to the company’s projects. Employees carry out activities and various campaigns in these communities focused on health, education, and support for vulnerable groups, and they currently support organizations such as Comedor Santa María, Effeta ABP, Destellos de Luz ABP, Fundefam AC, Andares, and Unidas Contigo.
For Grupo GP, caring for the environment is a key element of its approach. That is why the company seeks to foster a culture of respect and care for the planet we live on by implementing programs such as Construye Verde, whose activities include recycling at construction sites, raising awareness among employees and stakeholders about responsible consumption, and promoting best sustainable practices—factors that have made Constructora Garza Ponce one of the companies in Mexico that demonstrates the highest level of social responsibility.
Grupo Garza Ponce is recognized as one of Mexico’s leading companies in social responsibility, standing out as a company with an ESG (Environment, Social, Governance) initiative, which means it seeks to balance its financial performance with its environmental impact and social responsibility. To this end, it promotes ethical and transparent practices among executives, employees, customers, suppliers, and stakeholders. It has a code of ethics and conduct that guides its corporate integrity, as well as an anonymous hotline for reporting anomalies and irregularities. The company is also committed to respecting human rights, promoting inclusion, and maintaining a zero-tolerance policy toward discrimination, harassment, and bullying.
