Beyond Philanthropy: Alejandro Betancourt Lopez's Vision of Impact-Driven Business Development
Alejandro Betancourt Lopez rejects traditional corporate social responsibility models that separate business operations from community impact.
Rather than limiting community engagement to corporate social Responsibility programs, his energy operations integrated community development into their core business model.
This virtuous cycle where business success enables community development, which in turn creates conditions for further business growth represents the fundamental insight of his approach to social impact.
