LA FAGEDA is a social project whose mission is to improve the quality of life and promote the social integration of people with intellectual disabilities. Currently, it employs more than 300 people in its factories in La Garrotxa. FAGEDA has been a client of Externalia since 2016. We have a GPV team.Externalia donates 50% of the margin obtained with FAGEDA to the social project of its foundation.
PROVEA is a foundation that looks after elderly people, attending to situations of helplessness, especially in cases of incapacity where the Foundation acts as a legal guardian. They ensure psychological, social, health and legal well-being, regardless of their economic situation. At EXTERNALIA, we collaborate with PROVEA by donating the tablets that we regularly replace for our teams. They are reset so they can have a second life.
Red Cross supported its activities with the most vulnerable people before COVID-19. At EXTERNALIA, we came up with the initiative to collaborate by donating €1 for each of the displays placed by the GPV team from July to September 2020. The action was very successful, so in Q3 of 2021, we decided to repeat the same action.
Currently, Externalia has a fleet of more than 200 vehicles. Our commitment to reducing polluting gases involves increasing the percentage of our fleet that uses clean energy. Currently, more than 20% of our fleet runs on clean energy, and we have an ambitious goal to exceed 50% by 2025.
At Externalia, we are committed to reducing/eliminating the use of plastic in our daily activities. Among the ongoing initiatives, Externalia employees have a personalized bottle to avoid the use of plastic cups. And for visitors, we use water from AUARA, a company that uses 100% recycled packaging and donates 100% of its profits to provide access to clean water to the most needy communities in the world.
In 2021, Externalia joined the United Nations Global Compact. The Ten Principles of the Global Compact are derived from United Nations declarations on human rights, labour, environment, and anti-corruption and enjoy universal consensus.
