Get back to routine with society and the environment in mind

The summer holidays mean we go back to routine with renewed energy, and it is a good time to reflect on what we have experienced and seen these last few months.

This summer has shown us environmental and social realities that should leave no one indifferent: extreme heat, forest fires, intense weather phenomena and shocking images of people arriving in Ceuta looking for better opportunities.

While we rested, millions of people continued to face the effects of climate change, social conflicts and economic inequalities.

Let’s not look away: we all value the privilege of living in a safe environment, with basic services, professional opportunities and leisure time.

The best way to show how much we appreciate this privilege is by putting it at the service of others. With our decisions, our attitude at work and our involvement with the environment, we can contribute to a more just, sustainable society built on solidarity.

Let’s begin this new work cycle by transforming thoughts into actions and giving the best of ourselves to have a positive impact on society and the planet.
