The way we live today has brought us numerous achievements and advancements, but the world is approaching a limit where it is no longer sustainable.
How do we approach the transformation toward sustainability? By generating shared value. That is: creating business value while also delivering social value.
Áltima's Purpose
Based on our daily contact with the experience of death, we aim to help people relate to it in an increasingly natural and less fearful way, so they can come to accept it for what it ultimately is: a part of life.
The Áltima Manifesto
At Áltima, we believe that a company committed to society must necessarily link its professional success with the progress of the community it is part of. In this sense, and beyond accompanying families through the difficult journey of saying goodbye to a loved one, we believe we must also address all aspects of life that are, in one way or another, connected to the experience of death.
Death is one of life’s great themes. We value existence because one day it will end; we build to leave a legacy; we live to be remembered. At Áltima, we have the honor of working with one of the subjects that gives the greatest meaning to life—but one that, as a society, we have chosen to turn our backs on.
Beyond providing our services with the excellence that defines us, we have set ourselves the ambitious challenge of being the first funeral services company that does not turn away from death, but instead honors it for what it truly is: a part of life.
Death is not only the moment of departure—it is the legacy we want to leave behind, the way we will be remembered, the mark we leave from our time on Earth. Wouldn’t it be wonderful to begin relating to it with a little less fear, a little less apprehension? Beyond continuing to work each day with the excellence, respect, naturalness, and empathy that define our work, at Áltima we want to do our part to help make this possible.
We believe this is a higher purpose—one we are proud to pursue, and one that will guide all our actions and goals like a beacon. To help us, little by little, understand and honor death for what it ultimately is: a part of life.
To guide this transformation process, Áltima has established a corporate strategy based on five pillars.
Enhance excellence, humanity, and empathy in supporting families.
Foster closeness with all social stakeholders, including clients, suppliers, and the community at large.
Encourage and support personal and professional development opportunities for all our employees.
Ensure careful environmental management of all our resources.
Ensure transparent and responsible management at all levels.
