OUR CAUSES
We believe that as responsible citizens we have to get involved and be part of solving the challenges our communities face and supporting causes of organizations that impact and improve the quality of life of the society in which we live.
EDUCATION
Support to local educational institutions
Infrastructure support for educational institutions.
Student scholarships
In 2020, ALPACASA and the Johannes Gutenberg School of Santaní have agreed to offer scholarships that also include lodging and meals for students from the area of influence of the Jejui area, Department of San Pedro.
The evaluation and granting of these scholarships is carried out by the social work team of the Gutenberg school
Visits to our factory
As part of the agreement with educational institutions in the area of influence of our factory located in Jejui, Department of San Pedro, we regularly receive students and teachers to tour the facilities and learn about our production processes in detail.
These visits often inspire and motivate students to use this experience to present work and projects in schools, colleges and universities. Resulting in award wining presentations.
Educational workshops
With the aim of raising the knowledge and skills of our team, we carry out workshops, conferences, interviews in different areas such as: personal finance, fire safety, first aid, conflict resolution, effective communication, emotional intelligence, food and work safety, among others.
Our managers share their experiences with young college students in business careers.
International internships
Since 2017, we have received final year students from the prestigious Ecole Supérieure du Parfum to carry out their internship in our essential oil quality control department at our Jejui – San Pedro plant.
This opportunity is tremendously enriching for us as it allows us to be part of the experiences of future world-class perfumers.
