Thank you, Fundació Aspros!

For years now, Borges International Group has been working with associations, foundations and workshops in the communities where it operates to improve the employability of people with disabilities and promote functional diversity. These relationships enable us to outsource processes from our routine operations and include these people in our own workforce to make them part of our work.

One example of this is the Fundació ASPROS, a Lleida-based organisation that has been doing excellent work for 57 years, raising awareness of mental disabilities to encourage social inclusion and employability of these sectors of society.

Under this programme, we outsource jobs that were previously done in the plant but could not be automated on certain labels and promotional packs.

Fundació ASPROS put us forward as a Solidarity Enterprise, and, on 20th February, to mark World Social Justice Day, Lleida Town Council recognised Borges International Group with the title of Solidarity Enterprise 2019 for its involvement in social action projects carried out in Lleida in 2018.

The event was overseen by Councillor Félix Larrosa, Deputy Mayor of the city and Director of Business and Knowledge Territorial Services of the Catalan Government in Lleida.

At this seventh edition, a further 28 companies were recognised, including Vall Companys, Supsa Supermercat Pujol, Mercadona, La cuina de l’Araceli, Sorigué and Integra2.
