Softtek Reaffirms Distinction as a Socially Responsible Company

April 12, 2013 - PRLog -- The firm has been recognized by the Mexican Center for Philanthropy (CEMEFI in Spanish) for the 4th consecutive year

MONTERREY, Mexico – April 11, 2013 – Softtek (http://www.softtek.com/en), founder of the nearshore industry and leading global IT services provider dedicated to maximizing the value of applications, announced today that it has been recognized by the Mexican Center of Philanthropy (CEMEFI in Spanish) as a “Socially Responsible Company” (ESR® in Spanish), for the fourth year in a row.

Softtek remains committed to corporate social responsibility through implementing activities designed 1) to improve the quality of life for its associates 2) to advance the social development of the communities where it operates and 3) to protect and care for the environment.

 A key event that Softtek enacted in its 2012 campaign to benefit the community was the “Educational Partnership Project,” in which Softtek, along with the Government of the state of Nuevo Leon and the Educational Alliance (Alianza Educativa), created a school of excellence in the state of Nuevo Leon. This center provided economic support to improve school facilities, in addition to supporting volunteers who focused on improving the educational standards and quality of life for the students. At the same time, Softtek continued to support the “Aula Tecnológica” project, which created an educational center devoted to the basic use of computers for grade-school students in Aguascalientes, Mexico.

Additionally, for over a decade Softtek has carried out Make a Difference Day, an annual event which provides assistance to civil society organizations and underprivileged groups through remodeling homes, painting schools and holding food/grocery/clothing drives. The event takes place each year globally across Softtek’s offices.

“Softtek works tirelessly to create excellence for our clients, without forgetting the importance of the well-being of our associates, and of the communities wherein we operate.  We do this by promoting athletics, activities that unite families, and by working to improve the overall health and mental well-being of our communities,” commented Heriberto Ortiz, global leader of Softtek’s social responsibility.

“We are proud to be awarded this recognition for the fourth consecutive year, and can say with confidence that our commitment to corporate social responsibility will only continue to strengthen in the coming years,” concluded Blanca Treviño, president and CEO of Softtek.
