    La innovación para la sostenibilidad en seis empresas grandes colombianas pertenecientes al G12
    (Universidad EAFIT, 2025) Palacios Cardona, Ana Isabel; Mejía Mazo, Luis Felipe; Pérez Rengifo, Carlos Mario; Perilla, Andrés Felipe
    This thesis analyzes the relationship between innovation and sustainability in six major Colombian companies that are part of the G12. The G12 is a group of 12 companies convened by Bancolombia to share, learn, and create synergies that accelerate sustainability among the participating organizations. Using a qualitative approach based on interviews with business leaders, key patterns, skills, and methodologies were identified that facilitate the integration of these strategic areas. The findings reveal that, although the connection between innovation and sustainability is emerging, it is not always intentional or structured. However, when these areas are aligned, they generate significant benefits, such as triple-impact solutions, strategy acceleration, and the creation of long-term sustainable value. The study also underscores the importance of leadership, soft skills, and systemic approaches in implementing initiatives, while identifying opportunities to strengthen collaboration within the G12 framework. Finally, recommendations are proposed to overcome existing barriers and enhance the impact of this connection in the Colombian business environment.

    La relación entre el gobierno corporativo, el desempeño empresarial y las decisiones de financiación en Colombia
    (Universidad EAFIT, 2020) Arcos Rodríguez, Fabio Andrés; Cerón Ruiz, Yudy Viviana; Sarria Matus, Jimmy Agustín
    Empirical evidence in financial markets suggests that those companies that adequately manage their interest groups, and that strengthen and disseminate their corporate governance policies achieve greater institutional effectiveness. Based on the foregoing, this article studies the relationship between the quality of corporate governance practices and the valuation, financing decisions and financial performance of Colombian companies during the 2008-2018 period, from a mixed perspective that links the theory of Agency and resource dependence. Methodologically, firms that are listed on the Colombian stock exchange were examined and two governance indices owned by Bloomberg were used. The research used regression models in an unbalanced data panel. The results show that there is a positive relationship between corporate governance rates and the financial performance of firms; but negative against total indebtedness
