Madrid | November 30, 2020
The Project Envera Inclusion Pointa pioneering initiative in Europe for the labor inclusion of people with disabilities promoted by Envera in collaboration with Islazul Shopping Center and Carmila Carrefour, has been a finalist in the Zero Project Awards after being presented by the Ministry of Social Rights and Agenda 2030 for the Zero Project Conference to be held from February 10 to 12 at the UN headquarters in Vienna.
Zero Project highlights the importance of this project, which is part of their shortlist after competing with more than 500 projects from around the world: "We want to recognize their commitment to improving the lives of people with disabilities. We know that your innovative work in creating job opportunities for people with disabilities through recycling and selling lost luggage is having a significant impact."
Envera Punto de Inclusión is a social project that was born in 2016 as a result of the collaboration of Envera, airlines and Nuveen Real Estate, owner of the Islazul Shopping Center (Madrid), to launch a place of awareness, solidarity sales and activities in which people with intellectual disabilities are the protagonists. Just one year later, this model was replicated in the Carrefour Ciudad de la Imagen (Pozuelo de Alarcón) with the support of Carmila.
With this initiative that combines sustainability, diversity and social responsibility (CSR), Envera provides protected employment to eleven people with disabilities directly and more than twenty indirectly, inviting visitors to shopping centers to join the journey of life of people with intellectual disabilities and giving a second chance to luggage and suitcases lost in airplanes and airports thanks to the creation of a Solidarity Recycling Center.
