Support for vulnerable groups

Red Eléctrica collaborates with various non-profit organisations and entities to carry out social support actions targeted at various groups with specific needs.

During 2019, Red Eléctrica participated in the collection of bottle caps as a contribution to the “Ladrillos solidarios” (Solidarity bricks) initiative. This project consists of the construction of several homes so that a group of adults with Autism Spectrum Disorders (ASD) can soon have a home adapted to their needs provided by the CEPRI Association, a non-profit organisation that provides quality educational and rehabilitative care to children, adolescents and adults with ASD and other Pervasive Developmental Disorders (PDD).

Thanks to the participation of the employees who deposited the caps in the containers set up for this purpose at all the work centres, more than 1,000 kilograms were collected in 2019.

The company's involvement in cap collection is also a sign of its commitment to society and the environment in an easy and simple way.
