Last Thursday, Multinationals with Spain held the ninth edition of the Sustainability Awards, an event aimed at recognizing individuals, companies, and institutions that excel in promoting sustainable development in the country. The purpose of this gala was to highlight the efforts made by various stakeholders for the environment and social welfare.
One of this year’s highlights was the National Paraplegic Hospital, which received a special mention for its valuable track record in the health sector. Established in 1974, this center has become a benchmark for the treatment and research of spinal cord injuries, offering comprehensive health and rehabilitation services that support patients in their adaptation and social reintegration processes.
In the category of ‘Best Business Project,’ Carrefour Spain was awarded for its initiative ‘Committed to Our Forests.’ This program aims to restore degraded forest areas in collaboration with FSC Spain and includes actions such as reforestation, fire prevention, and the conservation of protected species in locations such as Cádiz, Pontevedra, and Valencia.
On the other hand, Leroy Merlin Spain received recognition for its innovative project ‘Home Index,’ the first indicator that assesses the environmental and social impact of household products. This tool allows consumers to make more responsible decisions by considering factors such as water and energy consumption in their purchases.
The Cruzcampo Foundation was awarded in the category of ‘Best Track Record of Third Sector Organizations’ for its work in promoting talent and employability among young people in the hospitality sector. Since its establishment in 1995, it has helped over 100,000 people, with special attention to vulnerable groups.
Finally, the program for young people formerly in care by Granada Acoge was recognized as the ‘Best Initiative of the Third Sector,’ highlighting its efforts to support young people who have exited protection centers by providing them with tools and resources to facilitate their transition to adulthood.
The event was inaugurated by Félix Romero, director of the Biodiversity Foundation, and hosted by Sagrario Sáez, Sustainability Director of HEINEKEN Spain. During the ceremony, a tribute was paid to Pedro Tomey, a key figure in the sustainability efforts of Multinationals with Spain over the past decade. This association is dedicated to uniting global companies operating in the country, fostering active contributions to the public agenda, and creating a favorable environment for investment in Spain.
