Moventis Sarfa reinforces its commitment in Girona with the sponsorship of the XV Economic Debate of the Palamós Chamber of Commerce

 

Last Friday, February 17, the VX Economy Debate The immediate future of the global economy took place, promoted by the Palamós Chamber of Commerce and with Moventis Sarfa as one of the main sponsors of the event.

The president of the Economic Circle, Jaume Guardiola, was the keynote speaker at the economic session held at the Parador Aiguablava, in Begur. For its part, Moventis Sarfa, the main Girona concessionaire belonging to the Moventia group, once again repeated its commitment as a collaborator in the important economic debate. Enric Gimeno, manager of the transport company, was one of the business faces that stood out among the guests.

The talk, which attracted more than 80 attendees, included the participation of the president of the Chamber of Girona, Jaume Fàbrega, and the president of the Chamber of Palamós, Pol Fages. Speakers and attendees discussed aspects of interest such as the global geopolitical situation, inflation and possible options to boost the catalan economy, such as strengthening airports or ending competition between territories.

The participation of Moventis Sarfa demonstrated the commitment of the Moventia group, which is open to participating in debates and events in which aspects of social relevance are discussed, and the support that the company offers to the territory in which it performs the urban transport service and intercity passenger services in Girona and the Costa Brava.

 

Moventia and UNHCR

The Russian invasion of Ukraine has caused immeasurable human loss and untold havoc for Ukrainian society. This situation has led non-profit organisations, such as the United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees (UNHCR), to focus their efforts on providing as much aid as possible to the territory.

UNHCR has been working from day one to provide Ukrainian society with essential resources and to offer protection. That is why we at Moventia decided to contribute to the cause by collaborating with the NGO through in-house fundraising.

We encourage our employees to contribute privately to the cause through the UNHCR’s fundraising platform. Additionally, the company made a financial contribution, bringing the total funds raised to 12,442 euros.

On 14 February, UNHCR representatives visited Moventia’s headquarters and reported that 786 refugees in other countries who were displaced by the invasion have received protection and assistance, as well as warm clothing, sleeping bags, and hygiene supplies, as a result of our charity efforts.

This is the first time that Moventia has worked alongside this United Nations entity. The company has also expressed its firm commitment to continue contributing to social causes, in line with principles that it holds dear, such as corporate social responsibility and a spirit of solidarity.
