Corporate Social Responsibility

As good citizens, companies must get involved in community issues and be sensitive to social needs.

For many years, OTELINOX has attached importance to this aspect, both in terms of protecting the environment, as well as increasing the quality of life of the local community, and getting involved in social responsibility projects.

Since March 2011, social responsibility has been assumed and recognized as a management practice through the OTELINOX Code of Conduct – the values and principles of business ethics.

Social responsibility is part of our company’s development strategy and we count, as before, on the voluntary desire of employees to get actively involved in such projects. CSR is a good form of communication between the company and the environment of which it is a part and, why not, a CSR action can easily turn into a team building for the team of volunteers involved.
