A twofold strategic vision for our country
Our name expresses two complementary dimensions: ASE stands for Environment, Sustainability and Ecosystems; and ASE also means Austral, South American and Emerging.
Environment, Sustainability and Ecosystems
It is a comprehensive approach to human development in which economic growth—whether derived from the productive management of natural resources, intensive industrial processes or the service economy—must remain inseparable from environmental stewardship, sustainable resource management and the preservation of native ecosystems.
Environment
Active care for the environment as a condition for human development.
Sustainability
Productive and responsible management of natural resources.
Ecosystems
Preservation of native ecosystems and their diversity.
Austral, South American and Emerging
It is a vision of our country’s place in the world: an austral nation with a natural and historical projection over Antarctica and a continental shelf of nearly 6 million km²; a South American nation located in a peaceful, nuclear-weapon-free region; and an emerging nation with a strong peaceful identity rooted in multilateralism and international cooperation.
Austral
A nation with a natural and historical projection over Antarctica and the South Atlantic.
South American
A peaceful region, free of nuclear weapons and endowed with immense natural heritage.
Emerging
Peaceful identity, multilateralism and international cooperation.
This dual strategic vision is the framework from which we build our agenda and inspire lasting bonds of friendship and cooperation.
