As part of our commitment to economic and social development, in 2024, Pantaleon Group (Grupo Pantaleon) supported the participation of two of our suppliers in the sixth cohort of the ScaleUp program, led by FUNDESA. This program, developed with innovative methodologies from institutions such as Harvard and Babson College, aims to accelerate the growth of local businesses, fostering their sustainability and strengthening.
Key results from the suppliers:
- Increase in sales: The suppliers achieved an average sales growth of 41.2%.
- New employment opportunities: Together, seven new jobs were created.
- Innovation in products and services: Two new products were introduced in the truck and construction divisions of one of the suppliers.
- Strategic alliances: The participating companies formed six new key collaborations.
- Significant investments: More than Q39 million were invested in growth and capacity-building initiatives.
Thanks to ScaleUp, these suppliers not only strengthened their operations but also expanded their positive impact on their communities, generating new economic opportunities and improving their competitiveness in the national market.
At Grupo Pantaleon, we are proud to be part of initiatives that promote the comprehensive development of our value chains and reaffirm our commitment to the sustainable growth of all the countries where we operate.
