Iberdrola has made this Thursday the presentation of the International Awards to Volunteers 2023 in a ceremony attended by the company's chairman, Ignacio Sánchez Galán, and with a live Radio Terrícola program conducted by people with intellectual disabilities from Envera.
The radio program was the culmination of an emotional gala hosted by journalist Pilar García de la Granja, in which Iberdrola recognized four of its professionals for the corporate volunteering activities they have carried out throughout the year in different countries where the energy company operates.
Specifically, this edition recognized volunteers from Spain, Mexico, Brazil and Greece who have been involved in environmental, education and inclusion activities, among other areas.
Ante los micrófonos de Radio Terrícola, Sánchez Galán ha admitido el "orgullo" que supone contar con profesionales tan comprometidos que, junto a sus familias y bajo el lema 'Juntos construimos el mundo que queremos', hacen posible que Iberdrola tenga más de 17.000 voluntarios en todo el mundo.
Además, el presidente ha hecho énfasis en la necesaria convergencia de las "dos almas de una empresa, la económica y la social" para que todo funcione correctamente, subrayando el compromiso de Iberdrola con los criterios ESG (medioambiental, social y de gobernanza) y la Agenda 2030 de desarrollo sostenible.
After interviewing the president, Envera's reporters also had the opportunity to ask questions to the four award winners who shared their experience as volunteers in different projects.
In the educational sector, Marina Paredes has volunteered in schools and also with refugees, people with disabilities and women at risk of exclusion.
On the other hand, Nubia Acevedo has been recognized for having contributed to the planting of more than 3,300 trees in reforestation activities in Mexico.
Michel Augusto Fuzzi, from Neoenergía in Brazil, described his role in the Ciudade Segura initiative, in which he is involved in promoting the health and well-being of local communities.
Finally, María Samarkou was recognized for the dissemination and promotion she has given to volunteering in Greece, from where she has spread Iberdrola's values to the entire team.
El programa ha sido clausurado por Begoña Barberá, responsable de Proyectos Sociales de la compañía, que ha hablado del importante impacto social y medioambiental del voluntariado de Iberdrola "para convertir el mundo en un lugar mejor" a través de numerosas iniciativas que, solo en España, superan las 400 actividades cada año.
