Small changes to build a better world
ENVIRONMENTAL POLICY
At our facilities, we carry out strict selective sorting of the waste generated in our workshop for subsequent recycling. We work with specialized waste management companies that assist us with separation and help us implement the necessary measures for optimal recycling, recovery, and disposal of surplus materials. We are strongly committed to the environment. That’s why we sort paper and cardboard, metal, plastic, and even electronic waste at our plant.
CHARITY PROJECTS
Ivory Coast
Saespa (S.A. Español) is proud to be one of the sponsors of the solidarity initiatives of the football team A.E. Ramassà. Each year, the team from Les Franqueses embarks on an expedition to an African country, combining sport, culture, and solidarity. Ethiopia, Benin, Uganda, Cameroon, Madagascar, and Ivory Coast have been among the destinations chosen for the expedition.
We are proud of the monetary contributions Saespa (S.A. Español) has made in recent years, aimed at the most vulnerable groups in each country: children. In addition to sports and school materials provided by the club, our contributions in Uganda were donated to the NGO “Petits Detalls” for an orphanage housing 40 children. Cameroon was undoubtedly the record-setting trip. Together with other collaborators, we raised more than €10,000 and 700 kg of materials, which were allocated to the construction of a library at the School of Nursing run by the NGO Insoláfrica in the town of Kribi. The aid in Madagascar was used to sponsor the construction of the second shelter house at the main facilities of the Yamuna organization in Tsinjo.
Saespa (S.A. Español) also supported the expedition to Ivory Coast with the “50 Smiles” project by the Homes de Demain foundation, aimed at improving the mobility of 50 children with physical and mental disabilities, through the purchase of prostheses, wheelchairs, and functional mobility devices.
Gambia
In 2020, Español S.A. collaborated in the solidarity trip of the Ramassà Sports Association to the African continent, with Gambia as the destination, along with the project “Support for maternal and child malnutrition in the Republic of Gambia” led by the Catalan NGO Nutrition Without Borders (NSF). NSF is a non-governmental organization that works to guarantee food as a universal right, aiming to eradicate malnutrition through ethical action and commitment to disadvantaged communities.
The objective of this project was to raise funds to cover the cost of maternal malnutrition treatments carried out at the Nutritional Recovery and Education Centers (CREN) run by NSF in the city of Soma. As part of the trip, the club also published its fourth solidarity storybook, “Adama”, written by Catalan journalist Carla Galisteo, illustrated by Alicia Giménez, and with a foreword by Africa specialist journalist Xavier Aldekoa. The story highlights the daily life of Adama, one of the staff members at the NSF CREN center in Soma, and helps raise awareness about the role of women in Gambian society.
Since 2017, we have also been collaborating with Oxfam Intermón, an NGO working in development, humanitarian action, fair trade, and advocacy, with the aim of eradicating injustice and poverty worldwide.
DONATION OF IT EQUIPMENT
We all deserve a second chance. At Español S.A., we believe this strongly. That’s why all computers that are replaced are donated to schools and organizations so that young students can continue to use them for educational purposes. Before being donated, each computer undergoes a strict audit and system update to ensure they reach their new owners in excellent condition and continue to deliver solid performance for years.
