Grupo Sura and its core subsidiaries, Suramericana and SURA Asset Management, are fully aware of the crucial role that companies play in today’s society. That is why we have acted decisively to provide solutions aimed at mitigating the impacts of the Covid-19 pandemic in all 10 countries where we are present.

This commitment has been articulated on several fronts, beginning with safeguarding jobs and caring for our employees, as well as ensuring the continuity of our different lines of business and reinforcing our capacity to assist our clients and provide them with solutions so as to be able to tackle the current situation.
