Asociación UNACEM

What Asociación UNACEM does

Asociación UNACEM is a Peruvian non-profit organization (organización sin fines de lucro) founded in 2003 that operates as the corporate social responsibility arm of UNACEM (Unión Andina de Cementos), a cement producer. Headquartered in Villa María del Triunfo, Lima, the association manages UNACEM's social investment portfolio and implements programs targeting vulnerable communities in the Lima Sur districts (Villa María del Triunfo, Villa El Salvador, Lurín, Pachacámac, Lurigancho-Chosica), Callao, and Tarma province (La Unión Leticia). Its stated intervention scope, however, extends to all Peruvian territory.

The organization delivers its work through four core lines of action — Planificación Urbana y Rural Sostenible (PURS), Bienestar Integral, Investigación para la Conservación, and Beneficencia — supplemented by specialized education (environmental education, youth leadership, technical training, digital inclusion), health (campaigns, anemia intervention, family health), social infrastructure (roads, water, retaining walls executed via the tax-efficient "Obras por Impuestos" mechanism), and environmental programs (urban reforestation, solid waste management, eco-tourism). All programs are aligned with the UN Sustainable Development Goals and delivered through multi-sector partnerships with district municipalities, DIRIS Lima Sur, Hospital Felix Mayorca Soto (Tarma), Universidad Peruana Cayetano Heredia, World Youth Alliance, Fundación Forge, and GRI.

The association has no commercial product, no proprietary technology platform, and no AI components. Its 69-person multidisciplinary team is funded by UNACEM's corporate social investment and operates a community-led go-to-market model — direct engagement with beneficiary communities, local governments, health networks, and civil society organizations — with no fees charged to beneficiaries. Outputs include sustainability reports published annually since 2005 and program outcomes such as 18,756 families served with food supplies during COVID-19, an oxygen plant serving 22,000+ families in Tarma, and 314 community leaders trained in 2021.
