Ocho Sur, a business group dedicated to the sustainable production of oil palm products and derivatives in Ucayali, reaffirms that – within its social responsibility policy – sport is an important bastion because it is an appropriate means to spread values such as unity, discipline, perseverance, tolerance, teamwork, among others.
Likewise, Ocho Sur does not understand how some “self-proclaimed” defenders of the rights of indigenous peoples attack and oppose the support that the company provides to many communities so that they can overcome such serious problems, such as the Covid-19 pandemic or who receive vaccination against some diseases. It is striking that they oppose having medical posts, drinking water wells, schools for their children or roads that allow them to avoid their isolation; as well as enjoying the sport that does so much good for the training of young people who develop values, leadership and camaraderie with this type of events.
Ocho Sur emphasizes that there is nothing further from reality and the truth than the baseless attacks it has been receiving about deforestation, land usurpation, violation of human rights or interference in the decisions of its neighbors.
In this regard, the palm oil group reaffirms its decision to continue supporting the region and sports so that there are better opportunities and for the young people of the Amazon to achieve their dreams.
“We are convinced that sport is an ideal vehicle to transmit values, such as respect for the environment and cooperation with the most disadvantaged, meeting the demands that correspond to us as good neighbors,” the company finally emphasizes.
