Social responsibility
We understand that adding value to our environment is a key aspect of promoting shared prosperity and thereby contributing to the social well-being of the countries in which we operate.
In this regard, we encourage collaborative initiatives among our people through our corporate volunteer program “Deja tu huella Ambar,” both as a group and independently.
Since 2002, we have supported the Fundación Abriendo Camino, with whom we share the vision of education as an indispensable tool for achieving development and curbing delinquency. We also promote better environmental practices among children and adolescents in vulnerable communities. Since 2020, with the signing of a strategic alliance with this foundation, we have joined forces to implement an environmental education program benefiting dozens of families in the Villas Agrícolas communities and surrounding areas. This alliance supports the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) in addressing climate change.
Likewise, we support and promote road safety education, focusing on good habits and responsible driving, as well as encouraging innovation in the future of mobility in the country.
Additionally, we promote and foster financial education, based on the development of comprehensive training in this field, allowing children and young people to develop a culture that enables them to thrive.
Since 2023, Santo Domingo Motors has been part of the Misión Rescate Lista Roja program, committing as a company to sponsor the Jagua species (Genipa americana) and supporting biodiversity conservation in the Dominican Republic.
In Puerto Rico, since 2014, the Motorambar Charity Golf Tournament has been held annually to benefit non-profit organizations. Over the past years, this initiative has raised and donated more than half a million dollars to non-profit organizations in Puerto Rico.
In 2024, we reaffirmed our commitment by signing a public-private partnership between Santo Domingo Motors, Motor Crédito, Entrena, and INTRANT to launch the “Juventud en Tránsito” program. This project focuses on comprehensive road safety education, addressing everything from raising awareness about responsible behavior to understanding traffic regulations and developing practical skills. By educating young people about road safety, we are not only fostering a safer and more responsible society, but also contributing to the reduction of accidents, with positive impacts on the economy, public health, and overall quality of life. In its first phase, 1,000 students from at least eight educational centers in the La Guáyiga community, Pedro Brand, will receive 40 hours of theoretical and practical training on topics such as traffic, road safety, risk factors, and regulations. This initiative strengthens our commitment to the development of the Dominican Republic and the promotion of safe, sustainable mobility for all.It is a non-profit organization that Grupo Ambar actively supports since its inception in 2002.
Fundación Abriendo Camino works in Villas Agrícolas, a marginal sector that is part of Santo Domingo’s poverty belt. The foundation organizes educational and cultural activities aimed at the integral development of children and adolescents such as literacy, up to grade level classes, artistic and civic values education, computer science and environmental education. The foundation is also a collaborating center of the Institute of Professional Technical Training (INFOTEP) and offers courses in electronics, computer science and accounting to facilitate the insertion of young people and adults in the labor market.
Most recently, at the beginning of 2020, Grupo Ambar signed a strategic alliance with Fundación Abriendo Camino to support an environmental education program, to raise awareness and educate children and adolescents about the importance of caring for the environment and so sustainable practices become a way of life.
