Vidrala wins the Empresa Social Awards
Publifestival 6th Edition and Social Enterprise Awards
OUTSTANDING SUCCESS AT THE SIXTH EDITION OF PUBLIFESTIVAL, THE INTERNATIONAL FESTIVAL OF SOCIAL ADVERTISING, WHERE THE 2012 SOCIAL ENTERPRISE AWARDS WERE ALSO PRESENTED.
On 15 June, more than 350 people gathered at the CaixaForum auditorium in Barcelona to attend the prestigious gala of the International Festival of Social Advertising organised by the Mundo Ciudad Foundation.
A total of 50 awards were presented, selected from 553 entries, positioning Publifestival as a benchmark both nationally and internationally.
Branded this year as the “Festival of Emotions”, the event also included the presentation of the “Social Enterprise” awards to the most socially responsible, sustainable and supportive companies of the year.
This competition aims to recognise companies that have stood out over the past year for their corporate social responsibility policies, with Vidrala being one of the award winners.
The jury for the Social Enterprise Awards included prominent figures from the business world and major media organisations, such as Julieta López, currently responsible for communication and advertising in the foundation sector as well as corporate social responsibility at Grupo Intereconomía, and Dácil Acevedo, President of the CSR Committee of the American Chamber of Commerce in Panama.
In the words of the director of the competition and president of the Foundation, María Cansino, “the level of participation exceeded expectations and the jury’s task was complex, given the high standard of all submissions, with the winners being those that stood out most in their social and/or environmental work”.
