abertis held today its fifth Corporate Volunteer Day, involving various aid and awareness activities, this year centred on the rise in poverty. This day, under the slogan “Now more than ever, we have a world to share”, is focused on the internationalization of the Corporate Volunteer programme, Voluntaris, in the countries in which the Group operates.

The headquarters of the abertis foundation, Castellet castle, will be a centre for the Mediterranean Ecosystem Biosphere Reserves supported by the United Nations Organization for Education, Science and Culture (UNESCO). The decision has been announced today as part of the General Conference that the international organisation is holding in Paris.

The abertis foundation has a video channel on YouTube which has recently been updated. There, you can get to know us a little bit better. 

As part of its objective to implement road safety campaigns in the countries where the abertis group is present, the abertisfoundation is working on initiatives in Brazil and Chile.

The Board of Trustees of the abertis foundation, at the proposal of its President, Salvador Alemany, has approved the appointment of three new members as trustees of the Foundation. They are Miquel Roca, Leopoldo Rodés and José Manuel Basáñez, who will form part of the highest governing body of the Foundation following the meeting of the Board of Trustees held yesterday.

abertis re-joins the Dow Jones Sustainability Index (DJSI) in the World and Europe categories. This is the seventh year in which it has been included, following six consecutive years in the index and one outside, when it was just a few points from getting in (and was named as one of the runners up).
