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.
The CEO of the organization, Enrique Grande, received the Chilean expedition to explain how quality and innovation, together with other values such as social commitment and transparency, have turned Envera into "a 21st century organization whose work has an impact on eleven of the seventeen Sustainable Development Goals of the UN Agenda 2030, because in addition to accompanying people with disabilities throughout their lives we have also become aid donors to more than twenty organizations to which in 2023 we will deliver more than 100 tons of humanitarian material inside and outside Spain".
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.
