The values of sustainability

ACCIONA organized, for the fourth year running, a corporate volunteer day in which our employees gave workshops on sustainability and climate change to schoolchildren aged between six and ten years old. This year, over 400 staff joined the initiative and over 8,000 pupils benefited from the classes.

The workshops were held in around 100 schools in Australia Brazil, Chile, Colombia, Costa Rica, Italy, Mexico, Poland, Portugal, Spain, Sweden and the USA.

Sustainable awareness

The ACCIONA volunteers went to around 100 participating schools and during two hours demonstrated to the pupils that sustainability can be achieved through small actions in daily life, within the reach of everyone. Through activities and games, they showed the smallest how their lives would be without the resources they use every day.

The aim was to make them aware that, if we don’t look after these resources today, they will run out tomorrow.  With Volunteer Day, an initiative held within the framework of Environment Day celebrations, ACCIONA seeks both to raise awareness among schoolchildren about the active role they can play to achieve sustainable development, and to promote the spreading of sustainability values among employees.
