Committed to our community. This is the philosophy of Lockton Mexico’s Committee of Social Responsibility (CSR) – and it is lived out in many ways throughout the year.

As Rosalba Contreras, Human Capital Manager, says, “We live in a world where people are used to looking out for their own interests, regardless of what is happening to others. Being ‘committed to our community’ reminds us that we are not alone in this world and many people need our help. Taking action is very important to us -- and having the support of a company like Lockton, where it is part of our DNA to want to help, is simply a source of pride.”

A terrific example of Lockton Mexico’s volunteerism in action is the “Locktoton,” a yearly Christmas toy drive for underprivileged children. In its 16th year, gifts -- totaling over 1,000 in 2023 -- are hand-delivered by Lockton directors dressed up in full costume as the Three Wise Men. This campaign has become an office favorite. “To be able to be a part of the illusion and the Christmas spirit for children in Mexico, giving them a little bit of happiness, fills our hearts. And the fact that our directors participate so fully reinforces the commitment we have with our community.”

Lockton Mexico also lends its support in emergencies when different needs arise. For instance, in November when the hurricane hit Acapulco, Lockton Mexico raised over 500,000 pesos to help families who needed it most.

The participation among the Associates is very high, leading to being designated an Empresa Socialmente Responsable (socially responsible company) in Mexico. This is in part because the Associates are given the privilege and authority to select who and what receives the support, and they see first-hand how their contributions genuinely help others. The social responsibility activities have connected Lockton Mexico more as a team – and as human beings with the simple objective of wanting to help, a wonderful privilege that demonstrates Lockton’s culture of caring.
