2 Thanks to the Conservamos la Vida program, the Andean bear can move freely through a corridor of more than 11,000 square kilometers. Julie Larsen.
3 We Promote Environmental Conservation Context The Grupo Argos Foundation is a part of the sustainability strategy and policy of Grupo Argos. The work of the Foundation focuses on environmental conservation that includes preservation, restoration, sustainable use, sustainable practices of communities and the protection of biodiversity. In this way, it contributes globally to the achievement of sustainable development goals and climate change goals through the following lines of intervention: Biodiversity It develops projects in the company of communities that seek the protection of focal species, that is, species that due to their characteristics, required area and the connectivity of their habitat are key for the planning and management of conservation. Water It technically and financially contributes in the creation and management of partnerships and long-term financial mechanisms for the conservation of water basins that supply population centers. Through these mechanisms, the conservation of biodiversity and the supply of drinking water are sought. Social Inclusion It generates social inclusion and environmental education projects that allow the generation of awareness about the care of the environment and the strengthening of productive organizations that are committed to the protection of water and biodiversity through the implementation of sustainable productive practices.. 3

5 Our Management Model The intervention model of the Foundation is based on giving a business perspective to the protection of biodiversity, seeking the articulation of compensation actors and resources and volunteers towards environmental conservation. This model is projected as the most powerful vehicle to generate impact, being efficient in the allocation of resources and ensuring the sustainability of interventions. Articulation Environmental Compensations Voluntary Actions Efficiency Environmental Conservation Impact Public Resources Private Resources and Cooperation Sustainability 5
