Borges International Group staff donate over 20 litres of blood

For another year running, the staff of Borges International Group have collaborated altruistically in the blood donation solidarity campaign Dóna’n a mica! (Catalan: Give us something!). In total, 43 staff from the Reus branch attended last Friday, visiting the mobile unit from the Banc de Sang i Teixits de Catalunya (Catalan: Blood and Tissue Bank of Catalonia) located on the company premises. On this occasion 21.5 litres of blood were collected.

The “Borges Red Day” is an action geared towards social responsibility that was proposed by our own staff. The Red Day has been held since 2009 at the headquarters of Borges International Group in Reus (Tarragona), and for seven years in Tàrrega (Lleida). This solidarity day has been a success in terms of participation since its inception. Thanks to the commitment demonstrated by the workers of Borges International Group, it was celebrated for the fourteenth time in 2016 and has already established itself as a quintessential and unmissable annual event.

In Catalonia, 1,000 donations are needed per day.

The Blood and Tissue Bank of Catalonia needs 1,000 donations every day, one for every three seconds. For this reason the Borges Group has been keen to contribute, with the aim of guaranteeing supplies to the hospitals and clinics of Catalonia. In parallel to this, Borges International Group continues to collaborate actively with the Blood and Tissue Bank by licensing Borges products that the entity offers to donors after blood extraction during the various campaigns that take place throughout the year in our cities.
