ALIVE Receives Award for ESG Accompaniment of HYBRICO

Our team: Maria Camila Vernaza Civetta, Laura Muñoz y Lina María Moya.

ColCapital, the Colombian Private Equity Association, has recognized ALIVE Ventures with the award for Best ESG Implementation in Venture Capital, a distinction that highlights investors who drive strong environmental, social, and governance practices within their portfolio companies.

This recognition comes as a result of the ESG support and capacity-building carried out alongside HYBRICO Energy Technologies, a company transforming energy for telecommunication companies in remote areas of Latin America through innovative hybrid systems that combine solar power and lithium-ion batteries. Since our investment in 2023, we have worked together to strengthen their ESG management system.

A case that demonstrates how responsible investment accelerates impact

From the very beginning, ALIVE identified opportunities to strengthen key ESG practices within HYBRICO. In 2023, a comprehensive ESG Project led by ALIVE, was launched to design, implement, and monitor essential policies across several strategic areas:

Management and governance to enable clear, sustainable growth

We collaborated in the strengthening of the company's ESG management system, which now guides HYBRICO’s decision-making. This includes an active committee, a clear annual work plan, and monitoring mechanisms that allow the company to anticipate risks, meet international standards, and respond to the expectations of regional clients.

A social framework that protects, includes, and develops people

HYBRICO strengthened its policies on workplace harmony, diversity, well-being, and occupational safety, creating trusted channels and tools for talent development across multiple countries. These practices not only improved the work environment, they also reinforced the ethical culture that supports the leaders of the future.

An environmental strategy aligned with purpose

Through the implementation of an environmental management system, carbon footprint measurement, and water-, energy-, and waste-efficiency programs, HYBRICO has laid the groundwork to reduce impacts, increase operational efficiency, and align with standards such as ISO 14001.

Corporate governance that fosters transparency and trust

From active participation in the Board of Directors to the strengthening of the compliance program and the adoption of external audits, HYBRICO evolved toward a more solid, transparent, and globally aligned governance model.

A recognition of the value of building better

Thanks to the coordinated efforts with HYBRICO, the company strengthened its ESG system and made significant advances in diversity, workplace climate, environmental efficiency, and financial transparency.

Beyond the technical achievements, this recognition reinforces what we believe at ALIVE, when impact and business strategy advance together, companies become stronger and better prepared to transform the sectors in which they operate.
