Grupo Tarraco Formación has taken a significant step in its commitment to the environment by sponsoring 95 trees in collaboration with the Foundation “Adopt a Tree” during the second half of 2024. This initiative aims to restore areas damaged by wildfires and promote ecological awareness within its educational community.
The program is part of a broader strategy that seeks to integrate sustainability into the educational process. For every student who chooses the online modality instead of the traditional distance learning, a tree is sponsored in their name. This not only reduces the consumption of physical materials and the need for transportation but also motivates students to engage in an environmental cause. In just six months, 95 students have participated in this initiative.
The “Adopt a Tree” Foundation, established after a devastating wildfire in Guadalajara in 2005, is dedicated to restoring affected forests through tree sponsorship, thus promoting social involvement in environmental protection.
In addition to its concrete actions, Grupo Tarraco Formación has received institutional recognition for its environmental commitment. Two of its schools, the Mare Nostrum Business School and the Graduate School of Art, Crafts, and Trades, have been included in the official list of educational institutions recognized by the Ministry for Ecological Transition and the Demographic Challenge. This recognition is due to the integration of sustainability and environmental content into their educational offerings.
This recognition not only validates the academic quality of their programs but also their social and environmental responsibility. Students not only gain technical knowledge but also develop a critical awareness of current sustainability challenges.
Grupo Tarraco Formación continues to focus on initiatives that minimize the environmental impact of education and strengthen digital learning as a driver of change. Through its online programs, the institution seeks to inspire a sense of responsibility and commitment toward the environment.
Albert Piñol, director of Grupo Tarraco Formación, emphasizes that “education can plant the seeds for a more sustainable world.” With an increase in student participation and new goals to achieve, the institution reaffirms its mission to combine training and sustainability to build a greener future.
