We work side by side with the communities in which we operate, because we seek to be good neighbors and contribute to the growth of all.
We do this by generating programs that link us directly, that leave installed capacity and that generate significant links between the organization, the neighbors and all relevant actors in the community.
Our main programs are:
This initiative started in 2001 and aims at welcoming the neighboring community, to provide access to knowledge of the facilities, processes and general activities.
With more than 2,000 visitors a year, it is the oldest program in Profertil and is a clear example of a policy of open doors to the community and closeness to the neighbors.
This program consists of a workshop with teachers of the second cycle, to bring to the classrooms the experience of making a vegetable garden. At the same time, they motivate their students to make their own gardens at home. In this way, the experience of creating food is multiplied throughout the city!

The program aims at strengthening intermediate organizations, through the training of their community leaders, so that they can be key actors in the development of social projects. It consists of seminars that provide skills and knowledge, both to social organizations and to the Company, generating a horizontal relationship between the company and society, aimed at overcoming the philanthropic model. The three seminars, which make up the training plan, are: Volunteering and Shared Project, Annual Strategic Action Plan and Financial Planning.
Since 2015, the Project Board has been functioning as a continuation of the Creciendo en Comunidad (Growing in Community) social leadership training program. At the end of the program, the institutions that are located in Ingeniero White are invited to participate in the Project Board to develop social investment initiatives in the port area.
The Board seeks to promote the management of social projects that directly contribute to improving the quality of life of the inhabitants of Ingeniero White and to embellish the town.
Scholarship program: Educar para transformar (Educate to Transform) The Scholarship Program “EDUCATE TO TRANSFORM” is promoted by Profertil S.A. to accompany young talents to complete their studies at the Technical High School N° 1 “Crucero A.R.A General Belgrano” of Ingeniero White and the Industrial Operations Technical Degree of the Universidad Nacional del Sur (a strategic career for the agro-industrial, energy and technological development of the country).
