The line 'Unidos, el Negocio se Levanta' will accompany 1,000 shop owners to recover their businesses, with Postobón allocating $16.75 billion, which is 56% of the program's total resources. [^2]

Postobón defined four lines of action for the program: 'Unidos, el Negocio se Levanta', 'Unidos, Somos más Solidarios', 'Unidos, la Educación se Fortalece', and 'Unidos, somos Compañía'. [^3]

The program was designed based on Postobón's own diagnosis of the earthquake's impact on its stakeholder groups, particularly in the cities of Cali, Pereira, Dosquebradas, Armenia, Manizales, and Quibdó. [^4]

Miguel Fernando Escobar P., president of Postobón, said that Colombia needs to act united and with solidarity, and announced that the company will allocate $30,000 million to aid reconstruction of regions most affected by the 10 August earthquake. [^5]
