Community Engagement - Monitoring and Evaluation of the Impact of Social Initiatives
To monitor social investments related to its business activities, CMPC uses different quantitative output metrics based on the annual amount allocated, perception from the communities and the results of the social projects implemented on site.
To monitor the amount invested, the company distinguishes between different types of contributions, based on the DJSI and B4SI classifications, including social contributions and contributions to public policy debate, long-term community investment projects with measurable outcomes, charitable donations that typically respond to emergency needs and sponsorships that support cultural or community identity.
In 2024, CMPC invested USD 25.2 million in these areas, supporting initiatives such as technical education programs, access to water and sanitation, biodiversity conservation, and entrepreneurship promotion. Likewise, contributions to public policy debate include support aimed at the development of public policies through contributions to trade associations, think tanks, and universities, with the objective of strengthening sectoral development and generating broader social benefits.
This classification allows CMPC to differentiate between philanthropic support and strategic investments with measurable outputs, supporting the monitoring of impacts related to the material issue of community engagement.
In addition to tracking investment amounts, CMPC assesses how these initiatives affect society through perception and project evaluation tools. The company conducts national quarterly perception surveys, as well as a biennial survey focused on communities located near its operations. These instruments help capture how external stakeholders perceive the company’s role and contributions to local development. Furthermore, CMPC implements tailored evaluation processes for its social programs to assess their coherence, effectiveness, and, where possible, their social impact. The type of evaluation applied depends on the maturity and scale of each project, allowing the company to generate insights that inform continuous improvement and alignment with community needs.
To reflect the external impact generated by the company, CMPC uses both the results from monitoring and evaluating its social programs and the Territorial Human Well-being Matrix. This tool, developed by the Territorial Intelligence Center of Universidad Adolfo Ibáñez, provides a Territorial Human Well-being Index that estimates the likelihood of achieving well-being in a given territory, taking into account local conditions of infrastructure, services, and the environment, as well as the population that may demand such services, conditions, or facilities.
For example, in 2024, an intermediate results evaluation of the DUOC CMPC Nacimiento project showed an increase in the enrollment of students from nearby municipalities, as well as an improvement in the quality of the institutions chosen by those who accessed higher education. According to the Territorial Human Well-being Matrix, the construction of this project increases the region’s overall Territorial Human Well-being Index by 0.03% and its accessibility dimension by 0.18%, which specifically measures the opportunity to access goods and services. In specific areas of Curanilahue, Arauco, and Santa Juana, the increase in the THWI reaches up to 12%, and in accessibility, up to 28%. Regarding access to higher education, the availability of enrollment for the target population doubled, reflecting a positive and measurable social impact.
