The director found inspiration in the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), specifically in two of them: "Sustainable Cities and Communities" and "Responsible Consumption and Production".
Observing the needs of his community and aware of the environmental impact of the automotive sector, the director set out to innovate his business to contribute to the achievement of these goals. He began by rethinking the entire process, from the acquisition to the sale of pre-owned vehicles, with a focus on sustainability and social responsibility.
First, it implemented responsible purchasing practices, prioritizing the acquisition of vehicles with a lower carbon footprint and encouraging the reuse and recycling of parts and materials. This not only reduced the environmental impact of its business, but also contributed to the circular economy.
In addition, he established alliances with local suppliers that shared his vision of sustainability, thus promoting economic development in the region and strengthening ties with the community.
In terms of vehicle sales, the director took steps to encourage more responsible consumption among his customers, offering affordable financing options for more efficient vehicles and educating about the environmental and economic benefits of choosing sustainable options.
The director's innovation not only transformed his business, but also inspired other players in the automotive sector to follow his example, demonstrating that it is possible to combine business success with care for the environment and the well-being of the community.
Innovation in the pre-owned car dealership has had a significant overall impact in both the short and long term. In the short term, there has been an increase in environmental and social awareness among customers, as well as an improvement in the company's reputation and image in the community. These effects are reflected in an immediate increase in sales and customer retention, as well as greater employee satisfaction and commitment.
As the innovation consolidates and expands over time, the long-term effects become even more evident. A sustained reduction in the environmental footprint of the business is observed, as well as a cultural shift towards more sustainable practices throughout the regional automotive industry. This shift is reflected in a continued decrease in pollution and waste, as well as an increase in the adoption of more efficient and environmentally friendly vehicles.
Evidence of this impact is found in multiple indicators, such as steady growth in business revenue and profitability, improved customer and employee satisfaction ratings, and data on emissions and waste reduction. The innovation has generated a generally positive and sustainable impact in both the short and long term, benefiting the company, the community and the environment.
Buying and selling used cars in Puebla is good for the planet and the people because of the agency's new ideas.

In this way, they reduce air pollution and waste, and make the air cleaner and healthier for everyone. They also teach their customers to be more careful about what they buy and offer them ways to pay for greener cars. This environmental awareness is not just for our customers, but also affects others in the automotive industry and society as a whole. Befriending local suppliers is good for society, because it helps the local economy and makes the region greener. When a car dealership is innovative, it is not only good for their business, but also helps the environment and society by being more sustainable and responsible.
Our agency innovation benefits both society and the environment in several ways. First, by prioritizing the purchase of vehicles with a lower carbon footprint and encouraging the reuse and recycling of parts and materials, the business contributes directly to the reduction of air pollution and waste generation, resulting in a cleaner and healthier environment for the community.

This environmental awareness extends beyond direct customers, influencing other stakeholders in the automotive sector and society in general.
The creation of alliances with local suppliers also has a positive impact on society, as it strengthens the regional economy and promotes sustainable development at the local level. This translates into job creation and the promotion of economic opportunities for the community's inhabitants, thus contributing to overall socioeconomic well-being.
Innovation in the pre-owned car dealership not only benefits the business in terms of profitability and reputation, but also has a positive impact on society by fostering more sustainable and responsible practices, and on the environment by reducing pollution and promoting resource conservation.
