The Abertis Strategic Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) Plan establishes the involvement of the Group in the communities where it carries out its business.
Last April, the International UNESCO Centre for Mediterranean Biosphere Reserves (IUCMBR) made its debut in the Italian city of Venice.
Under the title “The Network of Mediterranean Biosphere Reserves. Towards a strategic cooperation with the Adriatic region”, the event strengthened ties with the Biosphere Reserves in the Adriatic and Ionic regions. The event, organised by the Abertis Foundation and the Autonomous University of Barcelona (UAB), was presided over by Salvador Alemany, chairman of Abertis and of the Abertis Foundation; Ana Luiza Thompson Flores, director of the UNESCO bureau in Italy; and Carlos del Río, chairman of A4Holding, a subsidiary of Abertis in the country. Also taking part were Sergi Loughney, Chief Corporate Reputation and Communications Officer at Abertis and director of the Abertis Foundation, and Miguel Clüsener-Godt, director of the UNESCO Earth Sciences division.
The director of the Abertis Foundation, Sergi Loughney, reminded those present that the International UNESCO Centre seeks to strengthen its position as a benchmark of excellence. Its aim is to become a model of cooperation between the two coastlines of the Mediterranean in terms of the management of the Biosphere Reserves, and act as a facilitator for the implementation of agreements among them all. Sergi Loughney underlined the fact that, as an independent entity of the United Nations, the International UNESCO Centre transmits solidity and transparency, which are key concepts in the Corporate Social Responsibility policy of 21st century companies. Miguel Clüsener-Godt referred to the role of public-private partnerships in developing successful projects such as the IUCMBR in other countries around the world.
