- More than twenty of Cepsa professionals and their families participated in a coastal cleanup
- This activity is part of Voluntas, Cepsa's Corporate Volunteer Program
The Fundación Cepsa completed a new environmental project as part of the Voluntas corporate program, in which 24 volunteers, made up of Cepsa professionals and their families, participated in a full day cleanup of Antequera beach, collecting half a ton of waste.
As part of the annual action program, the Fundación Cepsa hopes this corporate voluntary work, will improve solidarity in the company by unifying Cepsa’s professionals with the foundation’s objectives to improve the environment and build a better society.
In collaboration with the Fundación Santa Cruz Sostenible (Santa Cruz sustainable foundation), the group of volunteers set out at first light along the Macizo de Anga coast and the Anexa mountainside, cleaning the area. A total of 508 kilos of an assortment of waste, such as glass and plastic containers, appliances, irons and abandoned appliances, was removed and transported by boat to a recycling center at the end of the day.
As well as participating in the cleanup, younger volunteers enjoyed activities based around environmental awareness. Led by an expert instructor, the activities showed them the importance of protecting the environment and how to do this as part of their day-to-day lives.
Through its Corporate Volunteer Program, Voluntas, the foundation fosters and promotes activities and values of solidarity among Cepsa professionals in places where Cepsa has a prominent presence. Launched in 2016, it focuses on five areas: caring for the environment, promoting employment and education, supporting culture, promoting sport and health, and caring for basic needs.
