Amat Immobilaris recognized at the Catalan CSR Awards
On January 24, the Premis Respon.cat 7th edition, the Catalan CSR awards, was held at Casa Llotja de Mar, Barcelona. The hall was full, with 150 attendees, including some members of our team, such as our director Guifré Homedes who accepted the Working Time Reform Award on behalf of Amat.
These Awards recognize the merit of organizations and individuals who disseminate and implement good practices in key areas of social responsibility. The goal is that sustainability and ethics management forms part of Catalan business model. Companies increasingly value social responsibility, turning it into a factor when it comes to generating solid and trusting relationships, not only with their internal teams, but also with clients and collaborators.
In this context, the Social Responsibility Awards in Catalonia take place and recognized five organizations, one person and one territory for their good practices and track record in Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR).
