    (Universidad EAFIT, 2025) Arias Gómez, Armando; Sastoque Rivera, Luis Fernando; Muñoz Mora, Juan Carlos; Sánchez, Andrés Felipe
    The thesis “Analysis of the Social and Environmental Profitability of the Casa para Mí Model” evaluates the viability and impact of the social business model promoted by Cementos Argos, integrating the Theory of Change, Life Cycle Assessment (LCA), and the Social Return on Investment (SROI) methodology. Through participatory workshops and technical analyses, the study identified significant positive impacts on the quality of life, household economy, and environmental sustainability of the beneficiary communities. Among the key findings, 87% of families reported improvements in their economic situation, including increased income, access to employment, and opportunities for technical training. In environmental terms, the model achieved a 50% reduction in CO₂ emissions, an 87% reduction in construction waste, and a 46% decrease in water consumption. The calculated SROI was 2.29, meaning that for every peso invested, $2.29 in social benefits are generated. The study concludes that the Casa para Mí model is efficient, replicable, and contributes significantly to the achievement of several Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), particularly: Reduced inequalities (SDG 10), Sustainable cities and communities (SDG 11), Responsible consumption and production (SDG 12), Climate action (SDG 13), and Partnerships for the goals (SDG 17).

    Instrumento para la implementación de prácticas sostenibles en conjuntos residenciales en Colombia
    (Universidad EAFIT, 2025) González Castro, Ana María; Galeano Morales, Ángela Camila; Bartelsman Aristizábal, Lisa; González Agudelo, María Isabel; González-Pérez, María Alejandra
    Accelerated and unsustainable urban growth has intensified inequality, pressure on ecosystem services and transformed housing into a multifunctional space, posing latent challenges to achieving sustainable cities and improved quality of life. In this context, the purpose of the research was to develop a tool to implement sustainable practices in urban residential developments, aligned with the SDGs, their goals and the daily actions that can contribute from this scale. A pilot scenario was selected where primary information was collected through observation and participatory methodologies with key actors, to diagnose its current state in sustainability and build a roadmap towards more sustainable individual and collective behaviors. Based on the understanding of SDGs goals, the pilot, experts’ interviews and strategic planning, the tool was developed including a SWOT analysis, a materiality matrix and a communication plan. Its articulated implementation provides a solid basis for managing the whole with sustainable criteria and supporting more informed decisions for the urban residential developments. It was identified that sustainability in this housing model depends on the synergy between individual and collective actions, existence of incentives, as well as effective mechanisms of participation and communication. In addition, dialogue with stakeholders such as the real estate guild and government entities strengthens trust and facilitates the articulation of sustainable practices, aligned with the regulatory framework that regulates this residential regime in the country.
