Abertis, with culture worldwide
23 September 2019
The Abertis Strategic Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) Plan establishes the involvement of the Group in the communities where it carries out its business.
Think global, act local. An international group of toll road operators like Abertis are asking you to think globally before acting locally, with the specific needs of each region in mind. And it is hoped that the activities carried out in favour of road safety form part of the DNA of an organisation such as the Abertis Foundation. This is why the partnership signed between Abertis and UNICEF in 2017 to reduce the accident rate of school-age children.
It is a global fact that every day, 500 children in the world die on their way to or from school. This is the main cause of death within this age range worldwide. Another 2,000 children end up seriously injured every day for this same reason. In view of this, the Abertis Group decided to invest three million dollars over three years, through UNICEF, to reduce this endemic tragedy.
The initiative, which is called Rights of Way, took its first steps in 2018, which will be described in detail in this section. We would like to remind you that UNICEF and the Abertis Group took part this year in the 26th Meeting of the UN Road Safety Collaboration held in Geneva. The Collaboration is an informal consultative mechanism involving different entities committed to road safety (Governments, UN agencies, NGOs, private sector, etc.) to strengthen coordination and to ensure all their efforts have a greater impact. At the next meeting, which is to be held in Cyprus in April 2019, Abertis is to present its partnership with UNICEF to ensure children are provided with a safe route to school. Abertis will also take the opportunity to request full membership of the Collaboration.

In the previous summary we indicated that the artist Joan Miró maintained a close link with the avant-garde scene in Paris from his youth until a ripe old age. The exhibition sponsored by Abertis at the Grand Palais enabled the Catalan painter to return to the French capital.

In February 1917, Europe was immersed in the 1st World War. Pablo Picasso was 36 years old then, but was already a great artist who had started the Cubism revolution.
