- The visit was organized by the Universidad Andrés Bello of Chile.
Madrid | October 4, 2024
The Vice Rector of Professional Development of the Andrés Bello University of Chile, Emilio Escobar, has visited Envera's headquarters in Madrid together with a large group of academics and managers of the educational institution as well as Chilean businessmen to learn about the model of social and labor integration that Envera develops, together with its parent company Iberia, so that people with disabilities can occupy their place in the world with dignity.
The visit is part of an itinerary that the University is carrying out these days in Madrid by various companies, institutions and organizations dedicated to the inclusion of people with intellectual disabilities, in order to transfer good practices to educational and labor projects that are developed in Chile.
Envera, a non-profit organization founded in 1977 within the Iberia company, serves 5,000 people with disabilities and their families every year and provides stable employment to almost a thousand of them, having become a social organization of reference in Spain.
El director general de la entidad, Enrique Grande, ha recibido a la expedición chilena para explicarles cómo la calidad y la innovación, unidos a otros valores como el compromiso social y la transparencia, han convertido a Envera en "una organización del siglo XXI cuya labor impacta en once de los diecisiete Objetivos de Desarrollo Sostenible de la Agenda 2030 de la ONU, porque además de acompañar a las personas con discapacidad a lo largo de sus vidas también nos hemos convertido en donantes de ayuda a más de una veintena de organizaciones a las que en 2023 entregamos más de 100 toneladas de material humanitario dentro y fuera de España".
In addition to learning first-hand about some of the services that Envera provides to people with disabilities, such as an Occupational Center with Residence or Training, Ainhoa Serrano, Iberia's Social Impact Manager, also participated in the visit to tell about the airline's commitment to entities such as Envera and also in those areas where it has a presence.
