Social
Original, pioneering solutions
We are a company with a purpose. We strive to provide value to people in society though social innovation, which means devising original solutions to respond to serious problems such as the future of care, social exclusion, discrimination, depopulated areas of Spain, unemployment, gender-based violence and alienation.
In our search for solutions, we take a rounded, comprehensive view of each issue to help ensure the success of every initiative. Public-private collaboration plays a huge role in this, as do our partnerships with organisations in the third sector. This commitment to collaborating in a network leads to joint projects being developed that help to solve some of the major social problems we face in society today.
Our social innovation actions are backed up by two key elements:
A social management model that prioritises the provision of quality services to users and protecting the working conditions of the company’s employees.
A corporate culture that’s committed to facing the challenges we need to tackle as a society.
Working in collaboration with public bodies and social organisations through agreements to foster joint initiatives as a way to remedy problems faced by society.
The social projects implemented by Corazón y Manos, our not-for-profit association, declared a Public Benefit by the Ministry of the Interior.
Fostering research projects, studies and workshops organised in-house and in collaboration with universities and both public and private institutions.
