Ultranav continues to support the People Help People Foundation (PHP) aiming to offer better opportunities to youngsters in Chile to support them in their continued development. Over 1,000 students are supported in three owned schools, one farm and one hotel to allow students to learn a wide range of technical skills. The foundation started in 1985 and since then these schools have been awarded several times for the high standard reached by the students in various national educational evaluations and certifications.

Teletón is a charity event held in Chile on a yearly basis since 1978. In 2022, Ultranav made an agreement with Teletón aiming towards hiring more people with some type of disability. We have also completed a charity campaign, where Ultranav doubled the donations offered by employees as well as supported a group of employees who visited the institute and the kids there.

Ultranav launched the volunteer programme “Ultranav: voluntarios que transforman”, which is carried out jointly with Fundación Trascender, the link between our company and the low-income schools we sponsor. Activities of this volunteer programme included offering classes in Mathematics, English and career guidance to students. In addition, we provided the opportunity for the students to familiarise themselves with the world of working, including a field trip to the Valparaíso region, where they spent a day at SITRANS, Humboldt and Terminal TPS, on “La Ruta del Mar”. This activity focused on bringing the students closer to the shipping world.

A total of 80 students of Colegio José Agustín Alfonso and Colegio San José benefited from the unconditional support of our 30 Ultranav volunteers who dedicated their time supporting young people who have little or no chance of being in a programme that brings them great value.

Antares Naviera in Argentina continued to support the local community, especially in unprivileged areas where the company operates (Comodoro Rivadavia, Ingeniero White and Puerto Deseado among others). The main purpose was to integrate efforts with public and private organisations to achieve common objectives and goals that facilitate sustainable human development, paying greater attention to fundamental pillars for development such as education, school dropout and poverty.

Antares Naviera continued its joint and articulated work with the Cimientos Foundation, supporting more than 100 students to carry on with their studies through scholarships. At the same time, given the difficult situation of poverty that Argentina is going through, Antares Naviera kept its active participation with the Banco de Alimentos Foundation aiming to reduce hunger and improve the nutritional quality of children and young people. Finally, Antares Naviera continued collaboration with the community through projects carried out by the NGOs Educar 2050, Vida Sin Violencia, Mensajeros de la Paz, and En Buenas Manos, among others.

Naviera Transoceánica (Navitranso) continues to support two social projects seeking to improve the education of children in Peru, namely the Wiese Foundation and the Da Un Chance Association.
