“PETROPERÚ is a leading company in the operation of hydrocarbons and in the field of social management has drawn up a plan, which is reviewed year after year, and which seeks a strategic and healthy intervention, in pursuit of a greater sustainable social impact with our communities,” she argued, while defining that this plan is executed based on three lines of action: social viability, social investment, and local governance and leadership.

On the first point, that of social viability, she specified that it is based on a relationship where respect, tolerance and dialogue prevail. Regarding social investment, Alva Hart clarified that it is based on an improvement in the quality of life of the populations, without replacing the State; while, in terms of local governance and leadership, its actions are aimed at working hand in hand with local and regional authorities.

For the official, the social management model is focused on prevention, detection and response; based on an international methodological framework, aligned with the principles of the Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development (OECD) and the IFC, which promotes economic development and improves people's lives by encouraging the growth of the private sector in countries such as ours.

"In the case of PETROPERÚ, the water and sanitation project in the Datem del Marañón is given the green light, after which a public investment certificate is delivered to the Company," she said.

When asked why do works for taxes, the official said that this is due to the fact that the State has a huge challenge to provide better services to the population “and what better than the contribution of large corporations to bring development and modernity to those remote communities”, she stated.

“There are many successful experiences, both in the public and private sectors, that have been carried out under this mechanism, achieving to date the investment of 5.6 billion soles in projects that include the construction of schools, hospitals, roads and irrigation projects. of water and sanitation, among others”, she concluded.
