#Compromisoreal, Aqualia’s campaign inspired by the United Nations’ SDGs Under the slogan, “They are deeds, not just words” the company will show, every month, its real commit- ment to twelve of the Sustainable Development Goals (SDG). It will be objective data and testimonials from professionals from different areas who will provide specific information on each commitment. The campaign revolves around the website www.compromisoreal.com , which offers a video and a blog linked to each of the Aqualia Commitments in each issue. Aqualia has launched the “Aqualia Commitment”, a new information campaign at its www.compromi- soreal.com website that includes a selection of the company’s socio-eco- nomic impacts and its contribution to 12 of the 17 United Nations Sustai- nable Development Goals (SDGs), real facts that contribute to the trans- formation of the territories in which it operates. During this year, real data on the actions carried out to improve the well-being of citizens will be pu- blished monthly, as well as a video and a blog with the opinion of profes- sionals from the company, experts in each of the SDGs. The first issue, linked to the United Nations’ SDG 6, “Clean Water and Sanitation”, featured the initial video of the website, in which Félix Parra, Aqualia’s General Manager, highli- ghted the company’s commitment to service, which works in more than 20 countries and employs more than 7,000 people. “We are proud to work on the water cycle and to contribute to the development of human beings hand in hand with the administra- tions,” he says. Likewise, Santiago Lafuente, Aqualia’s Spanish director, inaugurated the blog in which he hi- ghlighted the role of companies in optimising sustainable resources and guaranteeing effective sanitation. The second commitment focuses on the United Nations’ SDG 4, “Quali- ty Education”, and includes a video interview with Juan Pablo Merino, Aqualia’s Director of Communica- tion and CSR, which highlights the new record for participation in Aqua- lia’s International Children’s Drawing Competition with over ten thousand children taking part. José María Ar- doy, director of Aqualia’s Service in Vigo was the protagonist in the blog, pointing out the important role of the company in the city where, in addi- tion to providing technical services, it also develops initiatives adapted to schools, institutes and university cen- tres to make them aware of the pha- ses of the water cycle. The “Aqualia Commitment” campaign is an example of the company’s res- ponsibility to provide added value in the territories where it provides ser- vices, while also contributing to im- proving the well-being of people and, in particular, of the most vulnerable groups. In the coming days Aqualia will launch a new issue of SDG 5, “Gender Equality”, the contents of which will be available on the website www.compromisoreal.com , as well as being broadcast on Twitter under the hashta g #CompromisoAqualia .
