Our commitment
Understanding our corporate responsibility, we ensure transparency, integrity, and accountability in all our decisions and operations. We are committed to the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), recognizing their importance in achieving a sustainable and equitable future. Our initiatives not only reinforce Grupo Salta’s dedication to sustainable and responsible practices but also emphasize our role as a transformative force in society. Our strategy is guided by four central SDGs:

Gender Equality: With over 60% of our workforce being female. We need to strengthen their presence, especially in leadership, where they already represent 44%. We are dedicated to providing an excellent academic experience and expanding access to quality education.
Decent Work and Economic Growth: Grupo Salta is dedicated to generating decent employment, eliminating wage disparities, and equally valuing all work. We aim to incorporate the latest educational trends to empower our youth with better job opportunities and entrepreneurial skills.
Peace, Justice, and Strong Institutions: Our relationships are grounded in transparency and ethics.

Salta Institute
At this moment, students across the country are asking themselves who they want to be when they grow up. However, many of them also need to ask a second, more challenging question: “Who can I be when I grow up?”
The unequal reality imposes limits on thousands of students, but we are committed to breaking these barriers. Dissatisfied with this status quo, we have taken on the responsibility, rolled up our sleeves, and are working hard to drive change.
Instituto Salta is our nonprofit association that provides scholarships to underprivileged youth. Founded in 2023, it was created to strengthen and unite the well-established social programs of Grupo Salta.
We aim to expand opportunities and be a part of an educational transformation that spans the entire country of Brazil.
