June 27, 2024 – By: El Pa\u00eds Editorial Staff.<\/strong> The award was organized by the Latin American Chamber of the Shopping Center Industry, and the ceremony took place on June 26 in S\u00e3o Paulo, Brazil.<\/p>\n

A shopping center founded in Cali has just been honored as one of the best in Latin America. It is Unico, which won the CLICC award from the Latin American Chamber of the Shopping Center Industry in three categories: Corporate Social Responsibility, in which it received a gold statuette; Culture, also with gold; and Marketing, with silver.<\/p>\n

To earn this award, which recognizes the excellence of the most outstanding shopping-center projects and initiatives in Latin America, Centro Comercial Unico competed against nearly 200 shopping-center projects from 15 Latin American countries, including Chile, Uruguay, Ecuador, Guatemala, Brazil, Puerto Rico, and Colombia.<\/p>\n

Unico, present in Cali, Yumbo, Dosquebradas, Pasto, Barranquilla, Neiva, Villavicencio, and soon in Bucaramanga, won the gold statuette in the Corporate Social Responsibility category thanks to the social impact of its After School program, led by Fundaci\u00f3n Unico, which fosters social and emotional skills in children ages 5 to 13 through artistic, sports, cultural, and technology activities, with ongoing psychosocial support.<\/p>\n

The After School program reaches children in 13 countries through virtual programs, and in Colombia it reaches 200 municipalities.<\/p>\n

In addition, among its Corporate Social Responsibility initiatives, this shopping center carried out activities in every city where it operates, such as breastfeeding drives (‘lactatones’) to promote child nutrition, vaccination days to promote health, sports events for recreation and well-being, blood donation drives to support local blood banks, improvements to parks, sports facilities, and green areas, dog-adoption drives to promote animal care, and recycling drives (‘reciclatones’) to encourage environmental sustainability.<\/p>\n

The shopping center was also awarded gold in Brazil in the Culture category, in recognition of its organizational-culture program, which fosters collaboration among teams, and won silver at the CLICC awards in the Marketing category for its AniverSaldos campaign, launched in 2022 to celebrate its 25th anniversary, featuring four biographical shorts that tell the entrepreneurial story of how this shopping center got its start in Cali.<\/p>\n

“We are honored to receive these recognitions, which today inspire us to continue making a social, economic, and environmental impact on society,” said Patricia V\u00e1squez, Marketing Director.<\/p>\n

Organized by the Latin American Chamber of the Shopping Center Industry, the CLICC Awards were created to recognize and celebrate the excellence of the most outstanding shopping-center projects and initiatives in Latin America, serving as an incentive for the sector’s development, growth, and innovation.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
