Social dimension
Within the framework of its Corporate Social Responsibility plan, Grupo Cortefiel develops a program of social action that includes numerous activities and cooperation projects. These materialize in permanent cooperation with a number of third sector organizations, economic and in-kind contributions to NGOs, sponsorship of projects, charity sales and adhesion to the following initiatives:
UNITED NATIONS GLOBAL COMPACT
On March 2002 Grupo Cortefiel joined the United Nations Global Compact, an initiative for ethical commitment which companies in all countries receive as an integral part of their strategy and their operations. It contains 10 principles of conduct and action in Human Rights material, Work, the environment and the fight against Corruption.
Its aim is to promote the creation of a global corporative citizenship which allows the conciliation of interests and processes of the company’s activity with the values and obligations of civil society. Grupo Cortefiel is firmly committed to incorporating the 10 principles, and those which will be approved in the future, in the strategic vision and the working practices of the company throughout the world.
