Responsibility and Respect of the Local Community

  •  Cooperation development has many objectives with a common focus on reducing poverty. This scope requires players with very different skills, for example: Engineering companies, which have extensive knowledge in diversified technical fields.
  •  WMC strengths are its technical and management skills, the knowledge to identify and define technical solutions, the capacity to contribute to improvement of the physical capital of the environment of the people and the capacity to quickly respond to demanding commitments.
  •  In developing countries projects are not purely technical: technical issues are always associated with social issues. Therefore it is necessary to understand how local socio-cultural variables function (which are different in every location) in order to ensure that the technical solutions proposed are an adequate response to all aspects of the project.
  •  When implementing projects, WMC corporate responsibility focuses on respecting a series of principles such as  the value of local human and material resources, the population's sense of ownership, awareness and consensus of the local stakeholders,  the compatibility with local development processes and  the conservation of local natural resources.
  •  WMC´s technical and managerial teams understand perfectly that the contribution of other actors such as consultants, research centres, universities and public institutes that provide local knowledge is vital.
  •  The management , aware of the importance and scope that social responsibility and labour conditions acquire when performing the its activity, actively promotes the responsibility of each employee to comply with national and international laws on working conditions and the respect for the local community with which they interact.
