A Recognition That Fills Us with Pride
About a month ago, we received news that filled us with joy and pride: Grupo 9A – comprising 9Alliance and ILC – was recognized by the Chamber of Commerce of Bogotá and ICONTEC as a Sustainability Leader 2024. We earned first place in the Small Business category of their Corporate Sustainability Ranking, with an overall score of 92.63% and a perfect 100% in the social dimension. This milestone highlights 9Alliance and ILC as reference points in purpose-driven business leadership and sustainable practice.

Sustainability: A Daily Journey of Commitment
For us, this achievement is much more than a trophy or certificate. It is the reflection of a team that believes doing business differently is possible – a way of doing business rooted in integrity, purpose, and conscious action. It also validates our deep and consistent commitment to sustainable development, people’s well-being, and ethical entrepreneurship. Day by day, we operate with the conviction that sustainability isn’t a one-time goal, but a journey we build through concrete, continuous actions.
As a BIC company (Benefit and Collective Interest corporation) in Colombia, 9Alliance has woven social and environmental responsibility into our corporate DNA, proving that profitability can go hand in hand with purpose. Every initiative, project, and decision we make seeks to generate economic value while also creating a positive impact on our community and environment.
Gratitude to a Purpose-Driven Team and Partners
This recognition would not have been possible without the people who bring our mission to life each day. We want to sincerely thank the entire 9A team – talented women and men whose daily dedication and commitment to our values make this sustainable vision a reality. Their hard work and passion are the foundation of this achievement.
We are equally grateful to our clients and partners for believing in us. You inspire us to do better, to innovate mindfully, and to build a shared purpose together. Your trust and collaboration drive us to reach new goals and demonstrate that business success can – and should – generate meaningful impact.
We also extend our appreciation to the Chamber of Commerce of Bogotá and ICONTEC for shining a light on the good corporate practices that contribute to a more sustainable future. These institutions have created a platform that encourages companies to assess themselves and continuously improve in environmental, social, and governance aspects, and we are honored to be part of this initiative.
Motivation to Continue Leading with Impact
Far from being an endpoint, this award is a powerful motivation to keep moving forward. It commits us to continue growing with purpose, innovating, and leading with positive impact. We know there is still much to be done, and we embrace the challenge with enthusiasm and responsibility.
We invite you to learn more about our sustainability journey and to join forces with us so that more companies dare to lead through positive impact and shared responsibility. We firmly believe that by collaborating and sharing knowledge, we can transform the way of doing business in Colombia and around the world – putting the well-being of people and the planet at the center.
Thank you for being part of this achievement and for inspiring us to keep improving every day!
