Magdalena strengthens its corporate ethics by implementing the Shogun Ethics Line.

To talk about Magdalena is to begin a look back at more than 40 years of history, innovation, and transformation. Since its founding in 1983, it has managed to transform a traditional industrial company into a success story by developing a circular economy model where technology has allowed it to diversify, ensuring high quality in all its products and focusing on continuously improving every stage of the process.

Currently, Magdalena stands out as one of Guatemala's main exporters, processing 40,000 metric tons of sugarcane per day, of which 20% is destined for local sale, while the remaining 80% is exported to the Americas, Europe, Asia, and Africa. They are also producers of electricity and alcohol in the country.

Their vision and development go far beyond, leveraged by the use of cutting-edge technology. They are also pioneers in innovative agricultural and industrial processes, being the only ones in Guatemala and Central America to develop their own varietal varieties. They have a seedling production plant that produces 80 million seedlings per year, resulting in high-quality seeds focused on improving productivity.

Starting in 2020, Magdalena focused its efforts on integrating Corporate Governance practices, allowing them to continue their growth, expansion, innovation, and diversification, focused on aligning their internal processes to provide high-quality products to global markets. Taking a significant step in strengthening their corporate ethics culture, they successfully implemented the SHOGUN Digital Ethics Line. This strategic decision, in addition to strengthening their commitment to transparency and integrity, also positions them as a success story in the adoption of technological tools for ethics management.

As one of the leading organizations in Guatemala's agro-industrial sector, Magdalena also demonstrates its leadership in implementing best practices in governance and business ethics. By implementing Magdalena Ética, it provides an innovative tool with cutting-edge technology so that collaborators, key stakeholders in its processes, and members of rural communities can digitally, anonymously, and confidentially report any unethical conduct they are aware of or have witnessed, with the certainty that they will be heard, while preserving their safety, optimizing the organization's transparency and good corporate governance.

For SHOGUN, it was an honor to develop this solution, which adapts to the organization's needs and provides an intuitive and efficient platform that, in addition to optimizing resources, offers analytical tools to improve future decision-making. By integrating it into its operations, Magdalena demonstrates its dedication to maintaining high ethical standards and fostering a culture of trust among its employees.

With Magdalena Ética, they set a positive precedent for other organizations seeking to strengthen their transparency and corporate responsibility practices, in addition to reaffirming their commitment to ethics and integrity, consolidating their position as a leader in promoting responsible and sustainable business practices in Guatemala and the region.

We appreciate the trust you have placed in Shogun, and we are committed to continuing to offer innovative, high-tech solutions that will allow us to be your best allies in managing organizational ethics.
