Close to a hundred people with disabilities have been employed since last July, thanks to the call for the granting of subsidies promoted by ENAIRE, in which Envera's project obtained the highest score.

ENAIRE is thus positioned as an exemplary entity in the public sector for the labor inclusion of people with disabilities, contributing to equal opportunities and to the achievement of the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) with the firm commitment that no one is left behind.

The Tutelar Envera Foundation's mission is to watch over the rights and interests of people with intellectual disabilities when their family disappears or when they are in a situation of neglect. Since its creation in , and under the direction of the Board of Trustees - formed by Iberia, Airbus, Unisys and the president of Madrid Foro Empresarial, Hilario Alfaro - the Tutelar Envera Foundation provides answers to the big question of families: What will become of our child with a disability when we are gone? In 2020, the entity granted a total of seventeen scholarships for children, young people and adults with disabilities with the aim of ensuring that no one is left behind, especially in the face of the economic and social crisis we are experiencing.

Envera and the Spanish Commission for Refugee Aid (CEAR) have signed a collaboration agreement to jointly carry out, participate in and promote social responsibility actions to assist a greater number of refugees and people with disabilities in vulnerable situations.

The general director of CEAR, Estrella Galán, and the president of Envera, José Antonio Quintero, have signed this agreement as a starting point for collaborative actions between the two social entities that will aim to ensure that no person is left behind in these times of health, social and economic crisis.

Envera is part, as it has been doing since 2014, of the Incorpora program of the "la Caixa" Foundation, which aims to support networking between social organizations and companies to achieve the employment of vulnerable people or those at risk of exclusion. This was confirmed by the general manager of Envera, Enrique Grande, who signed the adhesion to Incorpora 2021 last Thursday.

Envera Group, a non-profit organization with transparency accredited by the Lealtad Foundation and whose objective is the social and labor insertion of people with intellectual disabilities, has launched its own e-commerce platform, Envera Shop, to facilitate users and customers the purchase of products through the Internet, guaranteeing a responsible purchase that allows the preservation of employment and the creation of new jobs for people with disabilities such as the more than 650 people who work at Envera.

Envera participates in the campaign 'As close as ever', along with other entities and Plena Inclusión Madrid, to make visible the extraordinary effort made by social entities that manage residential care resources for people with intellectual disabilities and their professionals to maintain quality care during the most difficult months of the pandemic caused by COVID-19. The campaign aims to highlight the work carried out in these resources so that the quality of life of their residents with intellectual or developmental disabilities is not affected by the social, health and economic crisis.

Beneficiaries and professionals of the residences for people with intellectual disabilities of Envera receive, between today and tomorrow, the first doses of the Pfizer and Biontech vaccine against COVID-19 as part of the priority groups established by the Ministry of Health in the National Vaccination Strategy and in coordination with the health authorities of the Community of Madrid.
They are about a hundred people from the residence for adults with disabilities and the residence for people with high support needs of the Envera Integral Disability Center in Colmenar Viejo (Madrid) where forty people live.
