The Justice and Disability Forum of the General Council of the Judiciary will present its annual awards on Wednesday, November 22, which in this tenth edition went to the notary Juan Bolás Alfonso, the journalist José Manuel González Huesa, the company DHL Supply Chain and the institution Envera.
The Justice and Disability Forum, chaired by CGPJ member Juan Manuel Fernández, has awarded the work of the institution Envera-Asociación de Empleados de Iberia Padres de Personas con Discapacidad, which takes care of people with intellectual disabilities from birth to their last day. It does so through its Early Care and Neurodevelopmental Services, Training, Employment and Labor Insertion, Occupational Center, Leisure and Sports, as well as its residences for people over 45 years of age with intellectual disabilities and premature aging. In this way, Envera annually serves 2,500 people with disabilities and provides stable and protected employment to more than half a thousand in its Special Employment Centers. Envera is also the driving force behind a solidarity project that is a pioneer in Europe, Envera Inclusion PointThis program, through which the abilities and skills of people with disabilities are made visible in large shopping malls.
In this tenth edition of the awards, the Justice and Disability Forum has also distinguished the work carried out by the global logistics company DHL Supply Chain, which in its packaging center in Quer (Guadalajara) has taken a great step towards the labor integration of people with disabilities as more than 300 people with some degree of disability have become part of the team of workers who are responsible for packaging products.
The Forum has also awarded the personal career of Juan Bolás Alfonso, former president of the General Council of Notaries, co-founder of the Justice and Disability Forum, creator of the Aequitas Foundation and promoter of the law 41/2003 on asset protection for people with disabilities.
Finally, the Forum also wanted to recognize the full dedication of José Manuel González Huesa to social issues and his high degree of commitment to all issues related to disability, to which as a journalist he has contributed and continues to contribute to giving a voice. González Huesa, with more than thirty years of professional experience, has been managing director of the Servimedia agency since 2005 and directs the publications "Perfiles" and "cermi.es".
The X Awards Ceremony of the Justice and Disability Forum was held on November 22 at the headquarters of the General Council of the Judiciary under the presidency of Carlos Lesmes, president of the Supreme Court and the CGPJ.
