Zitrón’s Commitment to Society
At Zitrón, we are dedicated to making a positive impact on society. Our Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) initiatives reflect our commitment to societal well-being and our dedication to acting responsibly and ethically in all our activities.
A Vision for a Better Society
Our CSR vision and mission are centred around contributing to a better society through responsible corporate actions. We believe that by supporting key areas such as education, community development, environmental sustainability, and charitable causes, we can help create a more equitable and sustainable future for everyone.
Education: Building Foundations for the Future
Education is a cornerstone of personal and societal development. At Zitrón, we actively support educational initiatives at all levels. We collaborate with professional training and university centres to offer internships and scholarships, providing students with real work experience and helping them transition into the job market.
Through our Zitrón Educa programme, we invite secondary school, vocational training, and university students to visit our facilities. These visits introduce young people to the industrial world and showcase the various career opportunities available in the metal sector. Additionally, our specialists visit educational centres to give talks and share their expertise, further inspiring the next generation.
Community and Social Support: Strengthening Our Ties
We are deeply committed to supporting the communities where we operate. This commitment is evident in our various community and social support initiatives. Zitrón participates in Employment Forums, offering direct contact with students and helping them enhance their job-seeking skills, such as interview preparation and LinkedIn profile optimisation.
We understand the vital role that sports play in promoting physical and mental well-being. Hence, we support sports initiatives like the Telecable Hockey Club women’s team and events that raise funds for research into rare diseases and childhood cancer. By doing so, we promote values that contribute to personal development and community cohesion.
Environmental Initiatives: Promoting Sustainability
Sustainability is at the heart of our operations. Zitrón is committed to reducing its environmental impact and promoting sustainable practices. Our environmental initiatives are designed to ensure that our activities contribute positively to the planet, securing a healthier environment for future generations.
Supporting Entrepreneurship: Inspiring Innovation
We believe in the power of entrepreneurship to drive innovation and economic growth. Zitrón supports programmes that foster entrepreneurial spirit among young people. These initiatives engage students, encouraging them to develop their entrepreneurial skills and pursue their business ideas.
Research and Development: Pioneering New Solutions
Innovation is a key driver of progress at Zitrón. In collaboration with the University of Oviedo Foundation (FUO), we support projects like the design of an electric racing motorcycle. This initiative involves university students working under the guidance of professors to create a competitive electric motorcycle, highlighting our commitment to cutting-edge research and development.
Charitable Donations: Giving Back to Society
Each year, Zitrón allocates a portion of its budget to support charitable organisations and initiatives. Our donations help disadvantaged groups and communities, reflecting our commitment to social responsibility. We support organisations such as the Red Cross, the Galbán Association for Children with Cancer, the Vaccine Alliance (GAVI), the Asturias Food Kitchen, and the Juan XXIII Foundation for the social and labour inclusion of people with intellectual disabilities.
At Zitrón, our commitment to Corporate Social Responsibility is more than just a statement—it’s an integral part of who we are. Through our support for education, community and social development, environmental sustainability, and charitable causes, we strive to make a positive impact on the world. We are proud of our contributions and remain dedicated to fostering a better, more sustainable future for all.
