Grupo Argos enters top 5 of Incluye 2025 ranking for inclusion strategy

Grupo Argos has been ranked in the top 5 of the Incluye 2025 Ranking, a regional assessment of maturity in diversity, equity, and inclusion strategies across Latin America. This accolade highlights the company's ongoing commitment to creating diverse and inclusive work environments. The recognition affirms the embedding of these principles into its organizational culture and business strategy.

The Incluye 2025 Ranking assesses the maturity level of diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) practices in organizations across various sectors in Latin America. Grupo Argos, a Colombian holding company, secured this top 5 spot through its comprehensive talent strategy, which positions diversity as a competitive edge for sustainable growth.

Lina Valencia, Talent Manager at Grupo Argos, stated: “We have strengthened diversity, equity, and inclusion as fundamental pillars for developing our talent and ensuring business sustainability. This recognition validates the work we have been doing to build environments where people can contribute from their authenticity and develop their full potential.”

Key achievements include over 2,230 employees participating in DEI training programs, totaling more than 10,150 hours in the past year. This has bolstered both organizational and individual capabilities. Furthermore, women now hold 32% of leadership positions, increasing their presence in key roles.

Since 2021, the Multiplicadores de Diversidad program has trained over 250 staff members as change agents, fostering equitable practices throughout the organization. These initiatives have earned international acclaim, including Forbes listings for top companies in diverse talent and leadership, as well as inclusion in the Bloomberg Gender-Equality Index for progress in gender equity and transparency.
