Fundación Andesmar

What Fundación Andesmar does

Fundación Andesmar is a private non-profit corporate foundation established at the end of 2007 by the third generation of the Badaloni family, which owns and operates Grupo Andesmar, one of Argentina's major long-distance bus transportation companies. The foundation functions as the corporate social responsibility (CSR) arm of Andesmar, channeling the parent company's resources into community programs across Mendoza and selected other Argentine provinces. Headquartered at Rodríguez Peña 2831 in Godoy Cruz, Mendoza, the foundation operates with a small core team of approximately 6 staff and reports through Executive Director María Inés Nadal to a Consejo Directivo chaired by Mauricio Badaloni.

The foundation's programmatic portfolio spans four pillars: education, anti-human trafficking prevention, health and employee welfare, and community/sports inclusion. Core social programs include CENS Guido Badaloni (a semi-presential secondary education completion center for adults at Independencia 400, Godoy Cruz), Cursos de Introducción al Trabajo (CIT) youth employment training delivered in partnership with Argentina's Ministry of Labour and the Unión Industrial de Mendoza, and the flagship 'Rutas Libres de Trata' (also branded 'Rutas sin Trata') anti-human trafficking campaign that has trained over 800 Andesmar transport workers and been extended to Salta province through a formal government cooperation agreement. Additional programs include EcoTransfer (a 100% electric Nissan fleet operating airport-to-hotel transfers in Mendoza), Bus Turístico Escolar and City Tour Educativo (subsidized school tourism), Programa Asistencia Integral (psychology, nutrition, and legal counseling for employees), blood donation drives with Centro Provincial de Hemoterapia, plastic cap collection for Hospital Garrahan, and disaster relief logistics (e.g., Jujuy flood response).

The foundation has no commercial revenue model; its budget is implicitly funded by Grupo Andesmar's transportation operations, with a handful of heavily subsidized fee-for-service programs (City Tour Educativo at $30 per student; Bus Turístico Escolar at $500 per passenger; CIT participant subsidies of $1,050 per month). GTM motion is community-led, relying on volunteer coordination across Andesmar's workforce, partnerships with municipal and national government bodies, and integration with the parent company's bus fleet, terminals, and onboard video systems as distribution infrastructure. Marketing reaches beneficiaries through the foundation website, Facebook and Twitter accounts, press coverage in regional media, and corporate events. The foundation has received recognition including the Premio Enrique Shaw (XI Edition, special mention, 2017) from ACDE for 'Rutas sin Trata' and a CSR mention at the FONRES International CSR Congress.
