Support Program for Communities and the Environment (PACMA) is Pemex-based corporate social responsibility initiative designed to promote sustainable development and strengthen community relations. As a long-term strategic partner of both Rockwell and Sensia over the last 20 years – we wanted to assist Pemex in any way possible.
Unlike many other corporate social responsibility initiatives, this didn’t involve just making a financial contribution and walking away. Overseen by dedicated Delivery RS Program Manager, Carlos Sanchez, teams from Sensia and Rockwell Automation rolled up their sleeves to deliver boots-on-the-ground support – providing everything from project management and onsite supervision to labor and materials. All while imparting valuable training to the local community.
With the radio station up and running following a grand opening attended by none other than the President of Mexico – Carlos is already managing further projects to contribute to our Social License to Operate (Licencia Social de Operación or “LSO”) in the region – from construction of high school classrooms to Casa Eijdal. Supervising on-site, approving technical drawings, monitoring and controlling the projects from end-to-end. Work he is extremely proud to be part of:
“PACMA has been a very effective way for us to engage with PEMEX in a program that creates social and community value. Besides the radio station project, we are involved in other ones to provide medical equipment or valuable training to the community. I manage the project schedule, visit the sites, and supervise project progress. It’s so rewarding to contribute to projects that make such a lasting impact in the development of low-income populations.”
