    Análisis de la rentabilidad social y ambiental del modelo Casa para Mí
    (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).

    Impacto de la certificación EDGE (Excellence in Design for Greater Efficiencies) en la rentabilidad de proyectos de vivienda en Colombia
    (Universidad EAFIT, 2026-05-08) Ramírez Chinchilla, María Graciela; Soto Sedano, Sandra Jeannethe; Téllez Falla, Diego Fernando
    The construction sector in Colombia is a strategic economic pillar, a generator of employment, and a key recipient of investment. This research evaluates the EDGE (Excellence in Design for Greater Efficiencies) certification as a driver of profitability in housing projects, analyzing how the integration of ESG (Environmental, Social, and Governance) criteria transforms capital structure and optimizes cash flows. The research employs a comparative analysis between EDGE-certified projects and traditional construction schemes, quantifying critical variations in capital expenditures (CAPEX) and operating expenditures (OPEX). Additionally, financial modeling is used to compare value creation indicators such as internal rate of return (IRR), net present value (NPV), and economic value added (EVA). Its purpose is to determine whether the profitability differential of EDGE certification constitutes a structural competitive advantage for strategic decision-making in the Colombian real estate market.
