SOCIal MeDIa for<br />
Social Change<br />
By Lilinés Urriola Herrera, Medcom<br />
Sumándonos is a social platform initiated by Medcom, Panamá’s largest media conglomerate.<br />
It was created to benefit all NGOs in the country. Now it is celebrating its 10th anniversary.<br />
Since 2002, Medcom, Panamá’s largest<br />
media conglomerate, has been a participant<br />
in the United Nations <strong>Global</strong> <strong>Compact</strong>.<br />
Since then, Medcom has engaged<br />
all of its corporate social responsibility<br />
efforts to be aligned with the initiative’s<br />
Ten Principles. Before that, Medcom’s<br />
networks – Telemetro, RPC TV, and RPC<br />
Radio – created the Office of Corporate<br />
Affairs to handle all CSR operations, training<br />
personnel, assigning resources, and<br />
making diagnostics and plans with international<br />
consultants. The structure was<br />
created by reengineering processes and<br />
creating new policies, which allowed for<br />
a more efficient and better use of airtime,<br />
resulting in a more standardized and<br />
personalized service of higher quality for<br />
the company’s yearly sustainability report.<br />
The services offered work throughout the<br />
entire year and are part of the external<br />
work handled by the Office of Corporate<br />
Affairs at Medcom. In <strong>2015</strong> the initiative<br />
will have been operating uninterrupted<br />
for more than 10 years, which is a great<br />
accomplishment due to the uniqueness<br />
of its structure and processes, standing<br />
alone in the Panamanian Media Industry.<br />
Sumándonos, which translates to “adding<br />
us up,” is the multimedia platform<br />
for free social exposure created by the<br />
company to benefit all NGOs in Panamá.<br />
It was created as part of the CSR initiative<br />
