The Chamber of Commerce of Bogotá is an institution that has left its mark in  the development of the city and the region and its history, closely linked to the economic, political, social, and cultural events of this capital; it dates back to the year 1878, when a group of visionaries comprised of José Manuel Restrepo, Ramón del Corral, José Camacho Roldán and Jorge Holguín, set out to foster the creation of companies, defend the interests of the city's business owners and entrepreneurs, and to become an advisory body and government consultant.

For the Chamber of Commerce of Bogotá, Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) is a management system which considers the expectations of the groups with which companies relate (owners, employees, communities, suppliers, clients, and others), as well as the economic, social and environmental impacts derived from corporate activities. It is a new corporate activity approach that includes the impacts of such activity and an expanded organizational concept is used to take customers, suppliers and the community into account.

Social liability forms part of the institutional values of the Chamber of Commerce of Bogotá; therefore, our organization has adopted it as the constant search for social, business, community and environmental improvement, through the commitment of its collaborators, the local community and society in general, through work focused on improving the quality of life of Bogotá and its region. 

The purpose of the CCB: “We serve collectively with the purpose of having more and better entrepreneurs and companies, thereby reaching a more prosperous and equitable society in Bogotá and the Region”.
