Founded in 1986, the Hispanic Association on Corporate Responsibility (HACR) is
one of the most influential advocacy organizations in the nation representing
16 national Hispanic organizations in the United States and Puerto Rico. Our
mission is to advance the inclusion of Hispanics in Corporate America at a
level commensurate with our economic contributions. To that end, HACR focuses
on four areas of corporate social responsibility and market reciprocity:
Employment, Procurement, Philanthropy, and Governance.
Collectively, the coalition members reflect the voice of more than 46.6 million
Hispanics living in the United States and Puerto Rico, serving those diverse
communities through advocacy, education, representation, assistance, capacity
building, public policy support, resource development, and the exertion of
political influence. HACR Coalition Members work with more than 1,500 affiliate
community-based organizations serving the Hispanic community in all 50 states
and Puerto Rico, including more than 450 institutions of higher learning
enrolling three out of every four U.S. Hispanic college students, and 400
publications with a combined circulation of more than 10 million.
