Communities
Gamesa is committed to ‘improving, insofar as possible, the quality of life in the communities in which it operates’. A major commitment to communities in our social context is the provision of systematic, timely and true information about our activities. Respect for, and commitment to, the environment form part of our corporate culture.
We promote environmental education, development and protection in the social contexts in which we operate, by working together with state entities and local associations. We strive to be alert to social change, and thus to be able to understand how society’s needs evolve, and to anticipate its future demands.
We can consider, according to this perspective:
- Regarding job creation, Gamesa contributes to the social and economic regeneration of areas with little industry or that have suffered deindustrialization, by investing and doing business in economically disadvantaged locations. Gamesa’s actions in this field are undertaken in coordination with the governments of the Autonomous Communities of Andalusia, Aragon, Castilla - La Mancha, Castilla - León, and Galicia, the main objectives being to stimulate economic activity and to safeguard and where possible increase employment in the area.
- Considering social responsibility and development cooperation related activities, Gamesa keep contacts with globally recognized non-governmental organizations destinated to develop projects aimed to help specific disfavoured collectives. In 2008, Gamesa will coordinate such projects with Vicente Ferrer Foundation and Codespa Foundation.
- Sponsorship activities do include cooperation with associations destined to promotion of cultural and scientific projects, such as those developed with Artium Foundation, Baluarte Foundation and Andalusia Technological Corporation.
- Cooperation with most relevant organizations in the field oh Human rights and transparency has driven the relation between Gamesa and United Nations Global Compact and Global Reporting Initiative, just to mention the most remarkable examples.
