ECOSUR GROUP, LLC is a company that strives to promote economic development in Argentina through active participation with the backbone of the local economy, small- and medium-sized business.

Mission

To Promote Economic Development in Argentina that is sustainable Economically, Socially and Ecologically.

Philosophy

ECOSUR GROUP, LLC believes that humans are inherently capitalistic, therefore we strive to provide a model that changes the paradigm of standard business practices in our Economic System by implementing a “NOT ONLY FOR PROFIT” approach to our business decisions.
We think that the private sector has a much more important role to play in our society than the role it currently fills. Unfortunately, the large amount of wealth that has been created by this sector tends to be very concentrated, especially in developing countries, and it is responsible for the grave disparities in income distribution.

Our guiding principals require us to take on economic development from a pragmatic approach that has a three-pronged approach.

We tackle economic development by selecting and designing projects that are sustainable:
1) Economically – Without this component our projects would provide short-term assistance and not engender the change that has long-term positive effects on the overall well-being of a society, which is our guiding principal.

2) Socially – We are determined to work with companies that also have a positive impact on the society within which they operate, because an improvement in long-term well-being will occur only if all actors are committed to this type of change, which is fundamental for achieving a sustainable economic development model.

3) Ecologically – If our projects do not take into account the environment, the advances that we make on other fronts will be for naught because we will not have a world in which we will be able to live.

Strategy

We work with small- and medium-sized businesses – the backbone of any economy – to help them develop products and then find markets that fit their productive capacity. We work with them, not for them, because their long-term success, and thus ability to positively impact society, is dependent upon their independence.

We have to be careful how we match products with markets in order to provide long-term continuity and to respect our first objective, which is economic sustainability.

We realize that we do not follow the standard business model, but believe that our “not only for profit” approach has merit and is appealing to consumers who increasingly want to know more about the products that they are purchasing. Also, as a result of our close working relationship with producers, we are able to offer quality goods and services with an excellent price/quality ratio, which we consider a crucial element to successful sales.
