The Altran Foundation, through its integral plan against the Covid-19, carries out with its volunteers 6 solidarity projects aimed at improving the working conditions of medical professionals, the elderly, children at risk of social exclusion and the foundations that help the most vulnerable people.

Context

Since the beginning of the crisis caused by the Covid-19, the Altran Foundation and its volunteers have promoted and developed an Integral Plan aimed at helping the most vulnerable groups in this crisis. A competition of ideas was launched to develop high impact projects that, together with the initiatives that have emerged in parallel, give rise to a plan that is constantly evolving and open to new initiatives.

The cooperation is being carried out by a team of more than 300 Altran-employed volunteers throughout Spain; in turn, there is collaboration with the Altran Group and numerous entities, among which are

Public Administrations: Autonomous Communities of Madrid, Andalusia, Castile and Leon and Catalonia.
Clients/partners: SEAT, Navantia, UPM, HP, UCA, COTEC, CATEC Foundation, etc.
Third Sector: Spanish Red Cross, Spanish Association of Foundations, Fundación Telefónica, Fundación Orange, Fundación Vodafone, Fundación Lealtad, Makers Covid-19 Community, ComGo, etc.
