June 2012– A recent study on founding member of Salvadoran Business Council for Sustainable Development (CEDES), Industrias La Constancia (ILC), shows that thanks to its sustainable development activities the company has had an important impact on the country’s economy.

The study was developed by the Public Policy Center of ESEN, a prestigious Business and Economics School in Central America. It was intended to show the multiplier effect on the nation’s economy of ILC’s income-generating activities. It demonstrated that for every dollar generated by ILC’s activities, the impact on the Salvadoran economy is multiplied by a factor of 4.8.
