We close some very intense months in Volies, but at the same time of great satisfaction and social impact. In recent weeks we have been accompanying some of our main clients in their Volunteer Day, Week, even Month!
Like the Repsol SIVR International Volunteer Week, with which we collaborated in more than 20 countries, the DIVT of Fundación Telefónica, which mobilized nearly 20,000 volunteers around the world, the incredible “Purposeful May” of Amazon, of which we have been part of projects in Germany, Spain, Italy, England, Ireland, Switzerland, Sweden and, for the first time, in South Korea.
Or the more than 300 employees of Abbvie in its Week of Possibilities, the Citizen Day of L’Oreal, which mobilized for the first time 650 employees in Spain and Portugal, and other similar activities with companies such as Autopistas, Amadeus, Sigma-Campofrío, Ilunion, Novo Nordisk España, among others.
These events are a great moment to celebrate Corporate Volunteering and social commitment. They allow volunteers to reconnect with their purpose, strengthen the bond with their environment, and align personal values with corporate values.
These months we have also had our first activity, but not the last, with another B Corp such as Nespresso. And the work Speed Dating with Coca-Cola Europacific Partners in five Spanish cities, in which part of our management and HR team actively joined as volunteers, together with Coca-Cola volunteers.
Creating a pipeline and inspiring young people
One of the most transformative activities of these months has undoubtedly been the third edition of the Endesa Foundation’s Campus for Young Solidarity. A proposal aimed at the sons and daughters of Endesa employees who, for a week, have enjoyed adapted sports activities, inclusive leisure, activities with the elderly and/or people with disabilities, etc.
An experience that has allowed them to experience first-hand the value of solidarity, raising awareness and educating them at the same time.
Also in this line, in that of inspiring the young people of the future, corporate volunteers from 27 companies have shared their knowledge and professional experience with more than 4,000 high school students thanks to our participation in the Bertelsmann Foundation’s “Companies that inspire” program.
Actions focused on creating a quarry with values, because they will be the professionals and volunteers of the future!
Our secret...our team: "Volies Gathering 2025".
But, without a doubt, one of the most special moments so far this year has been our summer team gathering. As a company without a physical headquarters, with 40 people of 10 different nationalities working from 10 cities around the world, it is not easy to get together!
But meeting again and being able to share these days makes us live incredible moments, reconnecting with the authenticity of our work and valuing the great team we have. On this occasion, in addition to our colleagues from Spain, we were able to welcome our team from Portugal, Germany, France, Colombia and Argentina!
I can only thank you for your enthusiasm and commitment. You are the true engine of our social enterprise.
We will take advantage of these days off to recharge our batteries, because we are looking forward to a back to school full of more and better volunteering, along with the preparation of the International Year of Volunteering in 2026! Thank you for walking by our side.
All the Volies team wishes you a happy summer!
