...and with
schoolchildren in Oviedo
Presents its most solidarity-focused calendar
Aqualia, in its role as a manager of
water, such an important resource for
sustaining life, assumes its responsibi-
lity to the community and the environ-
ment and is directly involved through
its Corporate Social Responsibility
policy. Aqualia employees are also
directly involved and undertake this
commitment by promoting solidarity
actions to favour the most disadvanta-
ged members of society, as well as in
educating the community on the care
of the environment, and in encoura-
ging participation in sports activities.
Responsible
company
Aqualia unveiled its 2013 calendar at an
event held at the Villafría de Otero primary
public school in Oviedo, with the presence
of Inmaculada González, the councilwo-
man for water affairs, and Alfonso Tomás,
Aqualia’s manager in Oviedo,
The calendar is illustrated with the drawings
submitted for the third edition of the
Children’s Drawing Contest sponsored by
the Company on the World Water Day last
year. The pages include some of the soli-
darity actions that the company and its
employees have put into practice, with the
collaboration of the Theodora Foundation
in the “Emergency Laughter” project thanks
to which, “Smile Doctors” visited children
who are hospitalised.
Another special initiative mentioned in the
calendar is the “#hazqueseoiga” campaign
organized by the NGO Acción Contra el
Hambre to obtain funds for several of its
projects and to build awareness among
the population on the importance of provi-
ding water to millions of people in the Third
World who lack this resource. The funds
collected were earmarked for providing
drinking water and sanitation services to
more than 5,000 people in Nicaragua.
During this event, boys and girls also lear-
ned about other solidarity initiatives carried
out by the company, such as Smile Doctors
(www.risasdeemergencia.org) and enjoyed
the “melody with glasses of water” crea-
ted ad hoc for the www.hazqueseoiga.org
campaign.
