SOCIAL RESPONSIBILITY
When Hacienda Taboga started in 1916, its founder, Julio Sánchez Lépiz (1862-1934), had a profound feeling towards the wellbeing of his employees and the community. These values have been the foundation for Taboga’s current Corporate Social Responsibility policies. Our corporate social responsibility focuses on the wellbeing of our employees and neighboring communities not only to provide work and development, but also to carry out different activities for improving people’s quality of life.
