ACCIONA and its 3,000 volunteers on International Volunteer Day 2016

ACCIONA, with 3,000 participants in its Corporate Volunteer Program, adds on this day to honor all those who are  committed to improving the world and promoting sustainable development.

ACCIONA celebrates the International Volunteer Day  with initiatives aligned in its  Social  Action Plan, as defined  in its Sustainability Master Plan , to promote a culture of collaboration and solidarity  to sensitize staff about the needs of other social groups. In total, ACCIONA volunteers have dedicated more than  28,000 hours to the community service.

Among the Corporate Volunteering Programme promoted by  ACCIONA, we highlight the Light  at Home Programme, organized by ACCIONA Microenergy Foundation, which uses solar home  systems to provide electricity in isolated rural communities in Oaxaca (Mexico) or Cajamarca (Peru).

ACCIONA's Volunteer Day which, in five years since it was created, has  inspired more than 1,980 of the  company's employees to give sustainability workshops to close to 39,000 children  aged 7 to 11, in 18 countries,   teaching them about climate change, efficient use of water and energy, etc.

Another annual event in which ACCIONA's corporate  volunteers participate is Let's Donate!, a campaign to collect food for the Food Bank, and toys for the Spanish Red Cross.

At the same time, highlight the initiatives promoted by Princesa of Girona Foundation and Exit Foundation, aimed to improve the employability of young people from difficult environments, and where more than 160 volunteers have participated, in the last three years.

Thanks to all for your collaboration!
