IRIZAR is collaborating with 0,7%.
   
 

Friday, January 22nd 1999

IRIZAR, S. Coop. as part of its strategic thoughts and mission contemplates society in general as something else to be satisfied in its strategy and management model.

Therefore, in May 1998 we decided to collaborate with 0.7% of the profits from the previous year in a cause of significant social interest.
Two aims in mind:

  • To make an economic contribution to improve a critical situation.

  • To increase awareness and motivate other organisations and people to do the same.


We thought that it would be difficult to decide how to carry out the first aim and for what reason. So we decided to be on the lookout for possible solutions.

In the end, we decided that the General Secretariat for Action Abroad of the Presidency of the Basque Government and its area of Third World aid should channel and process our collaboration this year, for Central America.

It is our intention to continue with this idea and every year we shall look at the needs, as well as the reasons and how to carry it out.

Finally, we should like to call on other organisations to collaborate generously in a task of great social interest, insofar as possible which is what 0.7% represents.
